This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by p
21、ublication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2012.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 elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC sh
22、all 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 European Free Trade Association The main changes to EN 13172:2008 are: a) Clause 5.4.2 te
23、xt 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 FPC. Also the use of statistics to reduce testing frequencies in case of “safe“ value
24、s 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. Some adjustments of testing frequencies for the characteristics in the tables hav
25、e 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 classes under system 1); Annex C, Declaration of conformity by the manufacturer (for
26、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, Criteria for assessing non-conformity Procedure in case of a complaint. Evaluation of co
27、nformity 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 shall be used for CE marking. Annex E describes how to use the annexes together with th
28、e 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, their use by the manufacturer will require that they assume a normative status. When
29、 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 to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Cz
30、ech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

31、 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 applies to factory made products for buildings, factory made products for building e
32、quipment 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 Not applicable 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the follo
33、wing 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, internal control of production exercised either by the manufacturer or by his agen
34、t 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 requirements of the relevant product standard. 3.3 production line assemblage of equipment tha
35、t 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 site including all production lines and units 3.6 third party approved organisation or
36、 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 13172:2012 (E) 7 4 General requirements The evaluation of conformity involves either
37、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. The tasks for the third party and/or the manufacturer shall be carried out in accorda
38、nce 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 purposes of voluntary product certification. NOTE 2 Annex F is included for the purposes
39、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 EN ISO 9001 with requirements of this standard. For ITT and FPC, each production li
40、ne 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 and testing purposes subject to the following conditions: They shall have the same t
41、ype 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 aspects that do not influence the properties required in the relevant product standar
42、d. 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. Products which are identical except the facing and for which the different facing
43、s 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 Standard may be grouped for testing purposes only providing that, They have a common pr
44、oduction 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 group(s) shall be tested product by product. Products which are outside the scope of a
45、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 products within the same group shall be deemed to comply with the product standard fo
46、r 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 Requirements for factory production control - Tasks for the manufacturer 5.1 Gener
47、al This clause specifies the requirements for factory production control that shall be fulfilled by the manufacturer for each factory 5.2 Organisation 5.2.1 General Factory production control shall be operated according to a documented system that shall be given in a quality manual. 5.2.2 Responsibi
48、lity and authority The responsibility, authority and the interrelationships between all personnel who manage, perform, or verify work affecting quality, shall be defined. This applies particularly to personnel who need the organisational freedom and authority to a) initiate action to prevent the occ
49、urrence of product non-conformity; b) identify and record any product quality problems. 5.2.3 Management representative for factory production control At every place of production, a representative, with the appropriate knowledge and production experience, shall be appointed by the manufacturer and given responsibility for managing and supervising factory production control procedures and for ensuring that the
