COMMISSION DECISION
of 14 July 1997
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards external thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(97/556/EC)
Article 1
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals. The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for harmonised European standards.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
ANNEX I
External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering using products classified with regard to reaction to fire as ►M1 A1 ( 3 ), A2 ( 4 ), B ( 5 ), C ( 6 ), D, E, (A1 to E) ( 7 ), F ◄ intended to be applied on external walls subject to fire regulations and external thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering intended to be applied on external walls not subject to fire regulations.
External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering using products classified with regard to reaction to fire as ►M1 A1 ( 8 ), A2 ( 9 ), B ( 10 ), C ( 11 ) ◄ intended to be applied on external walls subject to fire regulations.
ANNEX II
PRODUCT FAMILY
EXTERNAL THERMAL INSULATION COMPOSITE SYSTEMS/KITS WITH RENDERING (1/1)
Systems of attestation of conformity
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, EOTA is requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant Guideline for European technical approvals:
|
Product(s) |
Intended use(s) |
Level(s) or class(es) (Reaction to fire) |
Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|
External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) |
in external wall subject to fire regulations |

(1)
►M1 Products/materials for which as clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification (e.g. an addition of fire retardants or a limiting of organic material) ◄
►M1
(3)
Products/materials that do not require to be tested for reaction to fire (e.g. Products/materials of Classes A1 according to Commission Decision 96/603/EC) ◄System 1: See Annex III Section 2 (i) of Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples. System 2+: See Annex III Section 2 (ii) of Directive 89/106/EEC, first possibility, including certification of the factory production control by an approved body on the basis of initial inspection of factory and of factory production control as well as of continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control |

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 the CPD and, where applicable, clause 1.2.3 of the Interpretative Documents]. In those cases the verification of such a characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.
ANNEX III
PRODUCT FAMILY
EXTERNAL THERMAL INSULATION COMPOSITE SYSTEMS/KITS WITH RENDERING (1/1)
Systems of attestation of conformity
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, 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) (Reaction to fire) |
Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|
External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) |
In external walls |

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