The following Annex III is added:

‘ANNEX III

PRODUCT FAMILIES

Waste water engineering products inside buildings

Waste water engineering products outside buildings

Systems of attestation of conformity in respect of reaction to fire characteristics

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN/Cenelec is requested to specify the following systems of attestation of conformity in respect of reaction to fire characteristics in the relevant harmonised standard(s):

Product(s)

Intended use(s)

Level(s) or class(es)

(Reaction to fire)

Attestation of conformity system(s)

Back-flow devices: air admittance valve ventilating pipework

For all use(s) when subject to regulations on reaction to fire

A1 (*1), A2 (*1), B (*1), C (*1)

1

Kits for waste water pumping station and effluent lifting plants

A1 (*2), A2 (*2), B (*2), C (*2), D, E

3

Kits and elements for waste water treatment plants and on-site treatment equipment — septic tanks

(A1 to E) (*3), F

4

Prefabricated drainage channel

Manholes and inspection chambers

Step irons, ladders and handrail for manholes and inspection chambers

Separators

Manhole tops and gully tops

System 1: See Annex III. 2(i), to Directive 89/106/EEC without audit-testing of samples.

System 3: See Annex III. 2(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.

System 4: See Annex III.2(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility.

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 characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.’
