Attestation of conformity systemThe system of attestation of conformity 2 (i) (referred to as system 1) according to CouncilDirective 89/106/EEC Annex III laid down by the European Commission provides:a) tasks for the manufacturer:1. factory production control,2. further testing of samples taken at the factory by the manufacturer in accordancewith a prescribed test plan.b) tasks for the approved body:3. initial type-testing of the product,4. initial inspection of factory and of factory production control,5. continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control.3.2. Responsibilities3.2.1. Tasks of the manufacturer3.2.1.1.Factory production controlThe manufacturer has a factory production control system in the plant and exercises permanentinternal control of production. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by themanufacturer are documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies andprocedures. This production control system ensures that the product is in conformity with theEuropean Technical Approval.The manufacturer shall only use raw materials supplied with the relevant inspection documentsas laid down in the prescribed test plan 7 . The incoming raw materials shall be subject tocontrols and tests by the manufacturer before acceptance. Check of incoming materials shallinclude control of the inspection documents presented by suppliers (comparison with nominalvalues) by verifying dimension and determining material properties.The frequency of controls and tests conducted during production and on the assembled anchoris laid down in the prescribed test plan taking account of the automated manufacturing processof the anchor.7The prescribed test plan has been deposited at the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment and isonly made available to the approved bodies involved in the conformity attestation procedure.

Tasks of approved bodies3.2.2.1. Initial type-testing of the productFor initial type-testing the results of the tests performed as part of the assessment for theEuropean Technical Approval shall be used unless there are changes in the production line orplant. In such cases the necessary initial type-testing has to be agreed between the CentreScientifique et Technique du Bâtiment and the approved bodies involved.3.2.2.2. Initial inspection of factory and of factory production controlThe approved body shall ascertain that, in accordance with the prescribed test plan, the factoryand the factory production control are suitable to ensure continuous and orderly manufacturingof the anchor according to the specifications mentioned in 2.1. as well as to the Annexes to theEuropean Technical Approval.The approved certification body involved by the manufacturer shall issue an EC certificate ofconformity of the product stating the conformity with the provisions of this European technicalapproval.3.2.2.3. Continuous surveillanceThe approved certification body involved by the manufacturer shall visit the factory at least oncea year for regular inspection. It has to be verified that the system of factory production controland the specified automated manufacturing process are maintained taking account of theprescribed test plan.Continuous surveillance and assessment of factory production control have to be performedaccording to the prescribed test plan.The results of product certification and continuous surveillance shall be made available ondemand by the certification body or inspection body, respectively, to the Centre Scientifique etTechnique du Bâtiment. In cases where the provisions of the European Technical Approval andthe prescribed test plan are no longer fulfilled the conformity certificate shall be withdrawn andCSTB informed without delay.3.3.
