ANNEX IIIfor kits having more than one of the intended uses specified in the following families, the tasks for the approved body, derived from the relevant systems of attestation of conformity, are cumulative.
PRODUCT FAMILY  1. 
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 approval:


Product(s) Intended use(s) Level(s) or class(es)(reaction to fire) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits For uses subject to reaction to fire requirements A1, A2, B, C 1
A1, A2, B, C, D, E 3
(A1 to E), F 4






 2. 
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 of all for such 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 he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

PRODUCT FAMILY  1. 
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 approval:


Product(s) Intended use(s) Level(s) or class(es)(fire resistance) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits For fire compartmentation any 3

 2. 
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 of all for such 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 he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

PRODUCT FAMILY  1. 
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) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits For uses subject to regulations on dangerous substances — 3


 2. 
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 of all for such 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 he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

PRODUCT FAMILY  1. 
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) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits For uses liable to present ‘safety-in-use’ risks and subject to such regulations — 3

 2. 
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, 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 he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

PRODUCT FAMILY  1. 
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) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits For uses other than those mentioned in 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 — 4

 2. 
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, 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 he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.

ANNEX IV
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
System 3:See Annex III(2)(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.

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.

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN is requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised European standard:


Product(s) Intended use(s) Level(s) or class(es)(reaction to fire) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Internal partition kits/systems Uses subject to reaction to fire requirements A1, A2, B, C 1
A1, A2, B, C, D, E 3
(A1 to E), F 4



System 1:See Annex III(2)(i) to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples.
System 3:See Annex III(2)(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.
System 4:See Annex III(2)(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility.

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).
