(2) This regulation will not apply to the road building materials and construction products used for road management works.
[RT I, 26.01.2018, 18 - entry into force 29.01.2018]
(3) System of assessment and verification of constancy of performance means the conformity assessment systems provided for in Annex 5 of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (ELT L 88, 04.04.2011, p. 5‒43).
(4) An institution accredited for relevant activity can perform the tasks of the notified body indicated in the system of assessment and verification of the constancy of performance in the non-harmonized area.
§ 2. Documentation of the construction products
(1) The construction product must be accompanied by information about its characteristics, area of application and use, e.g. user and installation manuals.
(2) Declaration of performance according to § 1 (3) of the specified Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and information enclosed with the construction product is provided in Estonian.
§ 21. Gamma radiation emitted from the construction product
(1) The construction product´s ability to emit gamma radiation is described by activity concentration index that is calculated by using the formula I = CRa226/300 Bq/kg + CTh232/200 Bq/kg + CK40/3000 Bq/kg, which includes the following components:
1) I – activity concentration index;
2) CRa226 – activity concentration of the radionuclide Ra-226 in the construction product (unit Bq/kg);
3) CTh232 – activity concentration of the radionuclide Th-232 in the construction product (unit Bq/kg);
4) CK40 – activity concentration of the radionuclide K-40 in the construction product (unit Bq/kg);
5) Bq – becquerel;
6) kg – kilogram.
(2) The activity concentration index of the construction product must be less than 1, except if the Environmental Board has approved the use of a product with a higher emission on account of the intended usage purpose of the construction product.
§ 3. Penetration seal and joint filler material
Conformity assessment of the penetration seal and joint filler material which must conform to the fire resistance requirements is conducted according to the system 1 of the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance.
§ 4. Structural passive fire protection and fire wall
(1) Structural passive fire protection is a fire protection system consisting of various components including frames or tie bars, door leaf or window frame, roller shutters and other similar for closing of permanent openings in the structure for which the fire resistance characteristics are foreseen.
(2) Glazed non-load bearing fire wall is a vertically installed fire restraining element containing of glazing, glazing system and framework.
(3) Conformance assessment of the fire resistance of the structural passive fire protections conducted according to the system 1 of the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance.
(4) Conformance assessment of the fire resistance of the glazed non-load bearing fire wall is conducted according to the system 3 of the assessment and verification of the constancy of performance.
(5) If the conformance assessment of the structural passive fire protection and the glazed non-load bearing fire wall is conducted according to Annex 1 of this Regulation, it is presumed that the conformity is certified.
