THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised                           conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC(1), and in particular Article 60(h) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)The assessment and verification of constancy of performance of ventilation ducts and pipes intended to be used for air ventilation                              should be carried out in accordance to the systems set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

(2)It is therefore necessary to establish which systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance are applicable                              to ventilation ducts and pipes intended to be used for air ventilation. This should enable manufacturers to access the internal                              market more efficiently, thus contributing to greater competitiveness of the construction industry as a whole

(3)This Decision should only apply to products not within the scope of other corresponding acts of Union law. Thus, it should                              not apply to ducts and pipes used for fixed fire-fighting systems since they are already covered by Commission Decision 96/577/EC(2) and Commission Decision 1999/472/EC(3),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

# Article 1U.K.

This Decision applies to ventilation ducts and pipes intended to be used in construction works for air ventilation as set                     out in Annex I.                  

# Article 2U.K.

The products referred to in Article 1 shall be assessed and verified for constancy of performance in relation to their essential                     characteristics in accordance with the systems specified in Annex II.                  

# Article 3U.K.

This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.
