establishing the classes of reaction-to-fire performance for certain construction products as regards adhesives for ceramic tiles
(notified under document C(2010) 382)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/81/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988, on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 20(2)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works at national, regional or local levels, it may be necessary to establish in the interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Directive 89/106/EEC’ (2).
(2) With respect to the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be variously developed in the Member States.
(3) Interpretative document No 2 identifies one of those measures as the limitation of the generation and spread of fire and smoke within a given area by limiting the potential of construction products to contribute to the full development of a fire.
(4) The level of that limitation may be expressed only in terms of the different levels of reaction-to-fire performance of the products in their end-use application.
(5) By way of a harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC of 8 February 2000 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards the classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products (3).
(6) In the case of adhesives for ceramic tiles it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2000/147/EC.
(7) The reaction-to-fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2000/147/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘reaction-to-fire’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the reaction-to-fire classification adopted in Decision 2000/147/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Products shall be considered in relation to their end-use application, where relevant.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas account should be taken of developments on the market in processed tomato products since  1988 and the allocation of the overall quantities should be adapted in the light of the respective  share of each category of finished products; whereas, in the case of Spain, that allocation is to  take account of quantities of fresh tomatoes which may qualify for production aid pursuant to  Regulation (EEC) No 1203/90 (6);

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The following is hereby added to Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 891/89:

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 22 April 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Varian - FT NMR spectrometer, model XL-200' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/277/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 12 October 1981, Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Varian - FT NMR spectrometer, model XL-200', to be used for the study of all compressed nuclei in the 20 to 80 MHz range, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 22 March 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a spectrometer; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the precision of the measurement of the spectrum and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'WP 200' manufactured by Bruker Spectrospin SA, 34, rue de l'Industrie, F-67160 Wissenbourg,
The apparatus described as 'Varian - FT NMR spectrometer, model XL-200', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 12 October 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
