PD CEN/TR 15840:2009CEN/TR 15840:2009 (E) 5 Introduction The purpose of this Guidelines Document is to provide explanatory detail on points not fully elaborated in EN 450-2:2005 “Fly ash for concrete Part 2: Conformity evaluation“. It is intended for use by p
18、roducers and by certification bodies involved in the certification of fly ash following EN 450-1 and EN 450-2, in particular for the issuing of an EC Certificate of Conformity. This document does not deal with the necessary internal procedures that the certification bodies will have. It is an object
19、ive of this Guidelines Document that its use will assist in the establishment of equivalent procedures for certification of fly ash. It is expected that, following this document, traditional good procedures and practices that may be different can continue to be used, provided that they are not in co
20、ntradiction withEN 450-1:2005 and EN 450-2. Such existing good procedures and practices, applied in conjunction with these Guidelines, are not considered to be an impediment to the achievement of the uniform level of certification throughout Europe, and by different certification bodies that is expe
21、cted from the application of EN 450-2 together with these Guidelines. This Guidelines Document is based on existing situations for production, evaluation of conformity and certification of fly ashes. It may happen that certification bodies be confronted by a situation different to those included in
22、this document. In such a case, specific procedures should be elaborated on a case by case situation and be approved and fully recorded by the Certification Body. These specific procedures should always fulfil the requirements of EN 450-1:2005 and EN 450-2 and lead to the same level of confidence in
23、product conformity that would be achieved by application of this Guidelines Document. The clause numbering system of EN 450-2 is followed. The text of each of the clauses of the Standard is reproduced in full and is followed by guidance, which is provided only for those clauses where clarification o
24、r elaboration is needed. PD CEN/TR 15840:2009CEN/TR 15840:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies the scheme for the evaluation of conformity of fly ash according to EN 450-1:2005. The document provides technical rules for the production control by the producer, including autocontrol testing of s
25、amples. It also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity, the procedure for the certification of conformity and requirements for dispatching centres. Guidance EN 450-2 deals with the evaluation of conformity of fly ash submitted for certification. It deals in particul
26、ar with cases where “further testing” of the product is undertaken, as is the case for attestation system 1 + under the Construction Products Directive. The product for which EN 450-2 applies is defined in EN 450-1:2005 as fly ash for the production of concrete which consists of a fine powder of mai
27、nly spherical, glassy particles, derived from burning of pulverised coal, with or without co-combustion materials, which has pozzolanic properties. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

30、wing terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Specific definitions 3.1.1 certificate of conformity to EN 450-1:2005 document issued under the rules of a certain scheme for the evaluation of conformity indicating that adequate confidence is provided that fly ash is in conformity with EN 450-1:2005 Guidance T
31、he term “certificate of conformity” refers to certificates of conformity issued by a certification body under the rules of EN 450-2. This includes an EC Certificate of Conformity issued in relation to the CPD. 3.1.2 conformity mark protected mark applied on the basis of the certificate of conformity
32、 (see 3.1.1) PD CEN/TR 15840:2009CEN/TR 15840:2009 (E) 7 Guidance The term “protected mark” includes registered mark, regulated mark and CE marking. 3.1.3 certified fly ash fly ash for which a certificate of conformity has been issued 3.1.4 initial period immediate period after the first issuing of
33、the certificate of conformity for a fly ash 3.1.5 certification body impartial body, governmental or non-governmental, possessing the necessary competence and responsibility to carry out conformity certification according to given rules of procedure and management 3.1.6 production control permanent
34、internal control of fly ash production exercised by the producer consisting of internal quality control and autocontrol testing 3.1.7 production plant facility used by a producer for the production of fly ash: a) power plant with one (several) boiler(s), b) processing plant, for example for the clas
35、sification, selection, sieving, drying, blending, grinding and/or carbon reduction of fly ash(es). In the production plant, equipment has to be used which is suitable for production of fly ash including the necessary silo capacity for the storage and dispatch of the fly ash produced, and equipment t
36、o test, evaluate and control the fly ash production. This equipment and the production control applied allow the control of production with sufficient accuracy to ensure that the requirements of EN 450-1:2005 are met Guidance Two categories of production plant are recognised: traditional power stati
37、on facility where fly ash is produced as part of the production of electricity; processing plants that may or may not be on a power station facility, where ashes are altered in some manner. 3.1.8 new production plant production plant which is not already producing fly ash certified under this scheme
38、 3.1.9 existing production plant production plant which is already producing fly ash certified under this scheme PD CEN/TR 15840:2009CEN/TR 15840:2009 (E) 8 3.1.10 depot bulk fly ash handling facility (not located at the production plant) used for the dispatch of fly ash (whether in bulk or bagged)
39、after transfer or storage, where the producer has full responsibility for all aspects of the quality of the fly ash Guidance It is important to point out the difference between a depot and a dispatching centre. The difference consists essentially of the linkage to the production plant and the respon
40、sibility for the quality of the fly ash. In the case of a depot, the facility is strictly linked to the production plant and is included in the production plant Works quality manual. The producer has full responsibility for the quality of the fly ash released from the depot. In a dispatching centre,
41、 in contrast, the facility is not at all linked to the production plant and it is an intermediary (an entity taking certified fly ash, acting independently and operating between the producer and a subsequent customer) who has full responsibility for the quality of the fly ash dispatched. A dispatchi
42、ng centre, being independent from the production plant cannot be included in a Works quality manual, but it has to ensure, using appropriate rules, that the quality of an already certified fly ash does not undergo any change. Depots are included in the Works quality manual. An entity other than the
43、producer may own and operate the depot but it does this on behalf of and under the strict quality management responsibility of the producer. 3.1.11 dispatching centre bulk fly ash handling facility (not located at the production plant) used for the dispatch of fly ash after transfer or storage where
44、 an intermediary has full responsibility for all aspects of the quality of the fly ash Guidance See guidance under 3.1.10 and 9.1. 3.1.12 intermediary natural or legal person who takes from the producer fly ash certified according to EN 450-2 and bearing the conformity mark, who undertakes full resp
45、onsibility for maintaining in a dispatching centre all aspects of the quality of the fly ash and who supplies the fly ash onwards to a further natural or legal person 3.1.13 confirmation autocontrol testing continual testing carried out by an intermediary which consists of testing of samples taken b

48、uction control 4.1.1 Concept Production control means the permanent internal control of fly ash production exercised by the producer. It consists of internal quality control (see 4.2) and autocontrol testing2of samples of fly ash taken at the point of release (see 4.3). NOTE The requirements of EN 4
49、50-2 as regards the production control take account of those clauses of EN ISO 9001 6 which are relevant to the production, process control and testing of fly ash. Guidance The purpose of production control is to ensure that the fly ash is manufactured in a controlled way to meet all of the requirements of EN 450-1:2005. In order that a certification body can verify such a system, it has t
