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)

ANNEX II U.K.

Note: For products having more than one of the intended uses specified in the following families, the tasks for the approved body, derived from the relevant systems of attestation of conformity, are cumulative. U.K.

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

Systems of attestation of conformity U.K.

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.

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

Systems of attestation of conformity U.K.

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:

a Products/materials for which a clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification (e.g. an addition of fire retardants or a limiting of organic material).
b Products/materials not covered by footnote (*).
c Products/materials that do not require to be tested for reaction to fire (e.g. Products/materials of classes A1 according to Commission Decision 96/603/EC).
System 1: See point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples.
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(s)	Intended use(s)	Level(s) or class(es)(reaction to fire)	Attestation of conformity system(s)
Sealants for non-structural use in joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways	For uses subject to reaction to fire regulations	A1a, A2a, Ba, Ca	1
		A1b, A2b, Bb, Cb, D, E	3
		(A1 to E)c, F	4

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.
