Commission Decision 98/213/EC (2) only refers to products as defined in European technical approvals, while some of those products may also be covered by harmonised European standards. |
(2) |
The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) is currently preparing harmonised European standards for certain products referred to in Decision 98/213/EC. |
(3) |
Decision 98/213/EC should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 98/213/EC is amended as follows:
(1) |
the following Article 3a is inserted: ‘Article 3a The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex IV shall be indicated in mandates for harmonised European standards.’; |
(2) |
Annex IV is added, the text of which is set out in the Annex to this Decision. |

ANNEX
‘ANNEX IV
PRODUCT FAMILY
GYPSUM BOARD PARTITION KITS (1/2)
Systems of attestation of conformity
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) is requested to specify the following system of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised European standards:
Product(s) |
Intended use(s) |
Level(s) or class(es) |
Attestation of conformity system(s) |
||
Internal partition kits/systems |
For all uses not subject to reaction to fire requirements |
any |
3 |
||
|
The specification for the system must be such that it may be implemented even where it is not necessary to determine the performance for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirement for that characteristic (see Article 2(1) of Directive 89/106/EEC and, where applicable, point 1.2.3 of the interpretative documents). In those cases, the verification of such a characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if it does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

(*1) Products or materials for which a clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification (for example, the addition of fire retardants or the limitation of organic material).
(*2) Products or materials not covered by footnote (*1).
(*3) Products or materials that are not required to be tested for reaction to fire (for example, products or materials of Class A1 in accordance with Commission Decision 96/603/EC (OJ L 267, 19.10.1996, p. 23)).
