For uses in buildings and other civil engineering works subject to regulations on dangerous substances and/or reaction to fire, except for products made of materials falling into classes Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca.

ANNEX II

For uses in buildings and other civil engineering works subject to reaction-to-fire regulations for products made of materials falling into classes Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca and/or resistance-to-fire regulations.

ANNEX IIINote: for products 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 
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN/Cenelec is 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)(reaction to fire) Attestation of conformity system(s)
Power, control and communication cables for uses subject to regulations on reaction to fire Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca 1 +
Dca, Eca 3

System 1+see point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, with audit-testing of samples taken at the factory.System 3see point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility.System 4see 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 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.
