T
21、his European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the e
22、lements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13172:2008. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the Europe
23、an Free Trade Association The main changes to EN 13172:2008 are: a) Clause 5.4.2 text has been reorganised and reworded to distinguish clearly between calibration (check of calibration) and internal checks on equipment; b) Clause 5.4.5 text has been reworded to distinguish clearly between ITT and FP
24、C. Also the use of statistics to reduce testing frequencies in case of “safe“ values has been extended to other characteristics than dimensions; c) Table A.1 has been divided into two tables, Table A.1 for building insulation products and Table A.2 for building equipment and industrial installations
25、. Some adjustments of testing frequencies for the characteristics in the tables have been introduced. This European Standard contains six informative annexes: Annex A, Certification of conformity (not for CE marking purposes); Annex B, Certification of conformity (for products of reaction to fire cl
26、asses under system 1); Annex C, Declaration of conformity by the manufacturer (for the performance requirements under system 3); Annex D, Declaration of conformity by the manufacturer (for products of reaction to fire classes under system 4); Annex E, Guidance on the use of annex(es); Annex F, Crite
27、ria for assessing non-conformity Procedure in case of a complaint. Evaluation of conformity is necessary for products in order to provide support for CE marking and for voluntary certification. The guidance contained in annex ZA of the product standards will determine which of the above annexes shal
28、l be used for CE marking. Annex E describes how to use the annexes together with the main body of this standard to fulfil the requirements to the certification and/or declaration of conformity for a product. BS EN 13172:2012EN 13172:2012 (E) 5 Although the annexes are informative in this standard, t
29、heir use by the manufacturer will require that they assume a normative status. When an annex is used the requirements in the annex need to be followed, as given in the text. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound t
30、o implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Swed

BS EN 13172:2012EN 13172:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedures and the criteria for the evaluation of the conformity of a thermal insulating product with the relevant European product specification. This European Standard a
32、pplies to factory made products for buildings, factory made products for building equipment and industrial installations, in-situ products for buildings, in-situ products for building equipment and industrial installations and to external thermal insulation composite systems. 2 Normative references
33、Not applicable 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 product thermal insulation product produced under conditions which are presumed uniform to a given specification and placed on the market 3.2 factory production control permanent,
34、 internal control of production exercised either by the manufacturer or by his agent on the responsibility of the manufacturer himself NOTE Factory production control comprises operational techniques and all measures necessary to regulate and maintain the conformity of the product to the requirement
35、s of the relevant product standard. 3.3 production line assemblage of equipment that produces products using a continuous process 3.4 production unit assemblage of equipment that produces products using a discontinuous process 3.5 production plant/factory all the production equipment on the same sit
36、e including all production lines and units 3.6 third party approved organisation or body which is able to provide independent verification or approval 3.7 witness testing test performed by the manufacturer at his own facilities monitored by the representative of the third party BS EN 13172:2012EN 13
37、172:2012 (E) 7 4 General requirements The evaluation of conformity involves either a manufacturer or a manufacturer in conjunction with a third party. The procedure is given either in the relevant product standard or agreed between parties; it shall include at least those tasks given in Clause 5. Th
38、e tasks for the third party and/or the manufacturer shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Clause 7 of the product standard, which makes reference to this standard and one or more of the annexes B, C, or D for the purposes of CE marking. NOTE 1 Annex A is included for the purpos
39、es of voluntary product certification. NOTE 2 Annex F is included for the purposes of describing how to handle the case of a complaint (outside the scope of a voluntary certification, in which case the annex A rules apply). The content of Clause 5 will also be met by supplementing the provisions of
40、EN ISO 9001 with requirements of this standard. For ITT and FPC, each production line is considered separately. For ITT and FPC, production units using the same process in one factory are considered together (as if one production line). Products may be collected into product groups for declaration a
41、nd testing purposes subject to the following conditions: They shall have the same type of production process and shall be derived from the same family of raw material; a distinction is made between glass wool and rock wool and between foams with different blowing agents. They shall differ only in as
42、pects that do not influence the properties required in the relevant product standard. They shall be covered by a single thermal insulation standard, e.g. from the series EN 13162 to EN 13171. Products which differ only with regard to some properties may be grouped together by their common properties
43、. Products which are identical except the facing and for which the different facings have been shown to have the same effect on the declared characteristics (e.g. regarding thermal properties, the gas tight facings of some PU products), may be grouped. Products covered by more than one European Stan
44、dard may be grouped for testing purposes only providing that, They have a common production specification and that they are from the same type of production process and the same family of raw material, e.g. cellular glass for the EN 13167 and EN 14305. The properties outside this (these) common grou
45、p(s) shall be tested product by product. Products which are outside the scope of a product standard cannot be grouped for declaration purposes with products declared under the scope of that standard. Providing that a product within the group meets the requirements of the product standard then all pr
46、oducts within the same group shall be deemed to comply with the product standard for the properties concerned. If the same product fails to comply with the product standard then the whole group shall be assumed to have failed to comply with the product standard. BS EN 13172:2012EN 13172:2012 (E) 8 5
