[F13. INSTRUCTION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE FORM U.K.

Point of the model Instruction
Number of the declaration of performance

This is the reference number of the declaration of performance foreseen in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

The choice of the number is left to the manufacturer.

This number may be the same as the unique identification code of the product-type indicated under point 1 of the model.

Point 1

Indicate the unique identification code of the product-type referred to in Article 6(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

In Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, the unique identification code determined by the manufacturer to follow the [F2UK] marking is linked to the product-type and thus to the set of performance levels or classes of a construction product, as brought forward in the declaration of performance drawn up for it. Moreover, for the recipients of construction products, in particular for their final end users, it is necessary to be able to unequivocally identify this set of performance levels or classes for any given product. Therefore, every construction product, for which a declaration of performance has been drawn up, should be linked by its manufacturer to the respective product-type and a given set of performance levels or classes by the unique identification code, which acts also as the reference mentioned in Article 6(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

Point 2 Indicate the intended use, or list the intended uses, as appropriate, of the construction product as foreseen by the manufacturer, in accordance with the applicable harmonised technical specification.
Point 3 Indicate the name, the registered trade name or registered trade mark and the contact address of the manufacturer, as required pursuant to Article 11(5) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
Point 4 This point shall be included and filled in only in case an authorised representative has been designated. In such case, indicate the name and the contact address of the authorised representative whose mandate covers the tasks specified in Article 12(2) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
Point 5 Indicate the number of the applicable system or systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of the construction product as set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. If there are multiple systems, each of them shall be declared.
Points 6a and 6b

Since a manufacturer can draw up a declaration of performance based on either a [F3designated] standard or a [F4UK] Technical Assessment issued for the product, these two different situations presented under points 6a and 6b should be treated as alternative, with only one of them to be applied and filled in in a declaration of performance.

In case of point 6a, i.e. when a declaration of performance is based on a [F3designated] standard, indicate all the following:

(a)

the reference number of the [F3designated] standard and its date of issue (dated reference); and

(b)

the identification number of the [F5approved] body/ies.

When providing the name of the [F5approved] body/ies, it is essential that the name is provided in its original language, without translation to other languages.

In case of point 6b, i.e. when a declaration of performance is based on a [F4UK] Technical Assessment issued for the product, indicate all the following:

(a)

the number of the [F4UK] Assessment Document and its date of issue;

(b)

the number of the [F4UK] Technical Assessment and its date of issue;

(c)

the name of the Technical Assessment Body; and

(d)

the identification number of the [F5approved] body/ies.

Point 7

Under this point, the declaration of performance shall indicate:

(a)

the list of essential characteristics, as determined in the harmonised technical specifications for the intended use or uses indicated under point 2; and

(b)

for each essential characteristic, the declared performance, by level or class, or in a description, in relation to this characteristic or, for characteristics for which no performance is declared, the letters ‘NPD’ (No Performance Determined).

This point may be filled up with the use of a table which brings forward the links between the harmonised technical specifications and the systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance applied respectively to each essential characteristic of the product, as well as the performance in relation to each essential characteristic.

The performance shall be declared in a clear and explicit manner. Therefore, the performance cannot be described in the declaration of performance solely by inserting a calculation formula to be applied by the recipients. Furthermore, the levels or classes of performance presented in reference documents shall be reproduced in the declaration of performance itself and thus cannot be expressed solely by inserting references to these documents into the declaration of performance.

However, the performance notably of structural behaviour of a construction product may be expressed by referring to the respective production documentation or structural design calculations. In this case, the relevant documents shall be attached to the declaration of performance.

Point 8

This point shall only be included and filled in in a declaration of performance if Appropriate Technical Documentation and/or Specific Technical Documentation has been used, in accordance with Articles 36 to 38 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, in order to indicate the requirements with which the product complies.

In such a case, under this point the declaration of performance shall indicate:

(a)

the reference number of the Specific and/or Appropriate Technical Documentation used, and

(b)

the requirements with which the product complies.
