Commission Decision of 13 January 2011 amending Decision 97/556/EC on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards external thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) (notified under document C(2011) 34) (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/14/EU)

“ANNEX III

PRODUCT FAMILY EXTERNAL THERMAL INSULATION COMPOSITE SYSTEMS/KITS WITH RENDERING (1/1)

Systems of attestation of conformity

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN is requested to specify the following system of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised European standards:

System 1: see point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit testing of samples.
Product(s)	Intended use(s)	Level(s) or class(es)(Reaction to fire)	Attestation of conformity system(s)
External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS)	In external walls	Any	1

The specification for the system should be such that it can be implemented even where performance does not need to be determined for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirement at all for such characteristic [see Article 2(1) of Directive 89/106/EEC and, where applicable, clause 1.2.3 of the Interpretative Documents]. In those cases the verification of such a characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.
