ANNEX III
1. 
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN/Cenelec are requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised standard(s):


Product(s) Intended use(s) Level(s) or class(es) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Doors and gates (with or without related hardware) fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes — 1
other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise, energy, tightness and safety-in-use (i.e. NOT for fire/smoke compartmentation, NOT for escape routes) — 3
for internal communication only — 4
Windows (with or without related hardware) fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes — 1
any other — 3
Building hardware related to doors, gates and windows fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes — 1
any other — 3
Shutters and blinds (with or without related hardware) external use — 4
System 1:See point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples.
System 3:See point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.
System 4:See point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility.

The specification for the system should be such that it can be implemented even where the performance does not need to be determined for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirements 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.
