Commission Decision of 14 January 2011 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards sealants for non-structural use in joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways (notified under document C(2011) 62) (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/19/EU)

PRODUCT FAMILY SEALANTS FOR NON-STRUCTURAL USE IN JOINTS IN BUILDINGS AND PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS (1/2)

Systems of attestation of conformity

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

System 3: See point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.
System 4: See point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility.
Product	Intended use	Level(s) or class(es)	AoC system
— Sealants for external walls	Outdoor applications	—	3
— Sealants for internal walls, partitions	Indoor applications	—	4
— Sealants for glazing	For uses in building construction	—	3
— Sealants for pedestrian walkways		—	3
— Sealants for sanitary joints		—	3

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.
