19、mponents of signs: sheeting, (glass bead technology), supports, sign plates including lighting and fixings together with any combination of these components. Also included are transilluminated traffic bollards, delineator posts and fixed retroreflectors. This standard specifies which sorts of parame
20、ters and tests have to be taken into consideration within the FPC system, but leaves the precise test methods to be applied to be chosen depending on the manufacturers facilities and production methods. The precise parameters and methods will be found in the manufacturers written FPC procedures. EN

26、ely affected) traceable delivery of raw material or components and for which there has been no change in the manufacturing process (in so far as the performance of the product is not adversely affected by any such change) NOTE Production that is interrupted does not imply a new batch provided that t
27、here is no change in the raw material and component properties or in the manufacturing process. 3.3 manufacturer person or organization with legal responsibility for placing the product on the market 3.4 supplier producer of raw materials and components (e.g. sign faces, fixing devices etc.) of the
28、product DIN EN 12899-4:2008-02 6 4 System requirements 4.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of written procedures (works manu
29、al), regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. Records shall remain legible, readily identifiable and retrievable and reviewed for effectiveness at least on
30、ce per year which shall be recorded. This shall include testing of samples in accordance with a prescribed test plan defined in this European Standard. A FPC system conforming to the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy the abo
31、ve requirements. In each factory, the manufacturer may delegate action to a person having the necessary authority to: a) monitor procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages; b) identify and record any instance of nonconformity; c) monitor procedures to correct instances
32、 of nonconformity. All FPC systems shall achieve and maintain an adequate level of confidence that the product is in conformity with the requirements of this European Standard. The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken. The action
33、to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the manufacturers FPC procedures. Components having the necessary performance levels already demonstrated (e.g. by conformity to an appropriate European Standard or by CE marking in acc
34、ordance with an appropriate ETA) may be considered to have the declared performance levels and do not require any further testing for the purposes of conformity with this European Standard, providing the components performance is not detrimentally affected by the manufacturing process when it is inc
35、orporated into the product. In the case of new factories, new production lines or units, if the FPC system is temporarily unable to meet requirements that apply for normal production, as specified in this standard, the provisions of Table 1 shall apply to final quality testing. This shall continue u
36、ntil the FPC system is capable of meeting the other requirements of this standard. 4.2 Production control system 4.2.1 The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow the product performances to conform to the declared values, demonstrated by initial type t
37、esting. The production control system shall at least include the necessary procedures for the: a) relevant constituents; b) controls and tests to be carried out during manufacture; c) verifications and tests carried out on finished products in accordance with the test regime specified in Clause 5; d
38、) control of the necessary installations, equipment and trained personnel to execute the tests on the raw materials, the tests during production and the final quality control tests as specified in Clause 5; EN 12899-4:2007 (E) DIN EN 12899-4:2008-02 EN 12899-4:2007 (E) 7 e) operation maintenance and
39、 calibration of appropriate testing and manufacturing equipment by qualified personnel. NOTE 1 This does not preclude the manufacturer from concluding a sub-contracting agreement with one or more organizations or persons having the necessary skills and equipment in order to perform the above tasks.
40、The test methods to be applied and the tolerances for the results of all the tests used shall be documented in the FPC system. The minimum frequency of testing shall be in accordance with the test plan of the manufacturer, or as specified in Table 1, whichever is the more rigorous. NOTE 2 These meth
41、ods would normally be direct methods. In the case of certain characteristics, indirect test methods could be appropriate if a relationship can be established between the specific characteristic (the one to be verified) and another characteristic which is more practicable to measure such that conform
42、ity to this standard is demonstrated. Samples that have been subjected to destructive testing cannot be used. Other samples may be returned to the production line.
