ASSESSMENT AND VERIFICATION OF  CONSTANCY OF PERFORMANCE 
1. SYSTEMS OF ASSESSMENT AND VE RIFICATION OF CONSTANCY OF 
PERFORMANCE 
The manufacturer shall draw up the declarat ion of performance and determine the product-
type on the basis of the assessm ents and verifications of cons tancy of performance carried out 
under the following systems: 
1.1. S YSTEM 1+ 
(a) The manufacturer shall carry out: 
(i) factory production control; 
(ii) further testing of samples taken at th e manufacturing plant by the manufacturer in 
accordance with the prescribed test plan. 
(b) The notified product certification body shal l decide on the issuing, restriction, 
suspension or withdrawal of  the certificate of constancy of performance of the 
construction product on the basis of the outcome of the following assessments and verifications carried out by that body:  
(i) an assessment of the performance of the construction product carried out on the basis 
of testing (including samp ling), calculation, tabulated  values or descriptive 
documentation of the product; 
(ii) initial inspecti on of the manufacturing plant a nd of factory production control; 
(iii) continuing surveillance, assessment and evaluation of factory production control; 
(iv) audit-testing of samples taken by th e notified product cer tification body at the 
manufacturing plant or at the ma nufacturer’s storage facilities.  
1.2. S
YSTEM 1 
(a) The manufacturer shall carry out: 
(i) factory production control; 
(ii) further testing of samples taken at th e manufacturing plant by the manufacturer in 
accordance with the prescribed test plan; 
(b) The notified product certification body shal l decide on the issuing, restriction, 
suspension or withdrawal of  the certificate of constancy of performance of the 
construction product on the basis of  the outcome of the fo llowing assessments and 
verifications  carried out by that body: 
(i) an assessment of the performance of the construction product carried out on the basis 
of testing (including samp ling), calculation, tabulated  values or descriptive 
documentation of the product; 
(ii) initial inspecti on of the manufacturing plant a nd of factory production control; 
(iii) continuing surveillance, assessment a nd evaluation of factory production control.  
EN 2   EN 1.3. S YSTEM 2+ 
(a) The manufacturer shall carry out: 
(i) an assessment of the performance of the construction product on th e basis of testing 
(including sampling), calculation, tabulated values or descriptive documentation of 
that product; 
(ii) factory production control; (iii) testing of samples taken at the ma nufacturing plant by the manufacturer in 
accordance with the prescribed test plan; 
(b) The notified factory production control cer tification body shall decide on the issuing, 
restriction, suspension or w ithdrawal of the certificate of conformity of the factory 
production control on the basis of the ou tcome of the following assessments and 
verifications carried out by that body: 
(i) initial inspection of the manufacturi ng plant and of factory production control; 
(ii) continuing surveillance, assessment a nd evaluation of factory production control. 
1.4. S
YSTEM 3 
(a) The manufacturer shall carry  out factory production control; 
(b) The notified laboratory shall assess the pe rformance on the basis of testing (based on 
sampling carried out by the manufacturer), ca lculation, tabulated values or descriptive 
documentation of the construction product. 
1.5. S YSTEM 4 
(a) The manufacturer shall carry out: 
(i) an assessment of the performance of the construction product on th e basis of testing, 
calculation, tabulated values or descri ptive documentation of that product; 
(ii) factory production control; 
(b) No tasks require the intervention of notified bodies. 
1.6. C ONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS FOR WHICH A EUROPEAN TECHNICAL 
ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED  
Notified bodies undertaking tasks unde r Systems 1+, 1 and 3 as well as 
manufacturers undertaking tasks under Sy stems 2+ and 4 shall consider the 
European Technical Assessment issued for the construction product in question 
as the assessment of the performance of that product. Notified bodies and 
manufacturers shall therefore not undert ake the tasks referred to in points 
1.1.(b)(i), 1.2.(b)(i), 1.3.(a)(i), 1.4.(b) and 1.5.(a)(i ) respectively.  
2. BODIES INVOLVED IN THE ASSE SSMENT AND VERIFICATION OF 
CONSTANCY OF PERFORMANCE 
With respect to the function of notified bodies  involved in the assessment and verification 
of constancy of performance for construction products, distinction sh all be made between: 
(1) product certification body: a body notified, in accordance with Chapte r VII, to carry 
out constancy of performance certification; 
(2) factory production control certification body: a body notified, in accordance with 
Chapter VII, to carry out factor y production control certification;  
EN 3   EN (3) laboratory: a body notified, in accordance with  Chapter VII, to measure, examine, 
test, calculate or otherwise assess th e performance of construction products. 
3. HORIZONTAL NOTIFICATIONS: CASES OF ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS 
WHERE REFERENCE TO A RELEVANT HARMONISED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED  
1. Reaction to fire 
2. Resistance to fire 3. External fire performance 4. Acoustic performance 5. Emissions of dangerous substances’
