4 Introduction This European Standard has been written as the system for the Assessment and Verification of the Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of aggregates. This European Standard is intended for use with future revisions (currently in preparation) of the standards listed below. It is not for use with the versions of these standards dated 2002 (plus amendment A1). It is intended to be used in conjunction with the future aggregate product standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383-1 and EN 13450 and will be called up by these standards. This European Standard and the corresponding product standards have been written under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). According to Annex ZA of these standards, the tasks relative to AVCP for the manufacturer comprise Type Testing (TT) and Factory Production Control (FPC). This standard has been compiled from the TT and FPC clauses, annexes and tables previously found in the aggregate product standards. A further revision of this standard is currently under preparation, which will provide more detailed TT procedures and clear, detailed procedures for product conformity (e.g. statistical conformity criteria, number of samples, tolerances, time limits of validity, etc). The type testing and factory production control procedures are designed to be applied to European Standards for aggregates. When the appropriate “conformity” clauses are applied, it forms part of the system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance as required by the Construction Products Regulation. It provides the minimum provisions for TT and FPC for CE Marking. The testing procedures, using the reference test methods, have the function of providing assurance that a particular aggregate product conforms to each of the selected specified characteristics in the product standard. The type testing procedure is designed to be applied to all harmonized elements of European Harmonized Standards for aggregates. The factory production control system describes control of the sourcing and processing of the aggregate combined with routine sampling and testing to provide ongoing assurance that the aggregates product continues to conform to those characteristics determined through TT. Testing within FPC may use either the standard reference tests called up by the aggregate product standards or other test procedures which have been shown to correlate with those tests. For commercial and/or contractual reasons, the manufacturer can choose to perform more testing and inspection than the minimum specified. SIST EN 16236:2018

Note 2 to entry: ‘level’ is defined in the CPR as “the result of the assessment of the performance of an aggregate in relation to its essential characteristics, expressed as a numerical value”. Reference should be made to the latest version of the CPR. Note 3 to entry: ‘class’ is defined in the CPR as “a range of levels, delimited by a minimum and a maximum value, of performance of an aggregate”. Reference should be made to the latest version of the CPR. Note 4 to entry: ‘Threshold level‘ is defined in the CPR as “a minimum or maximum performance level of an essential characteristic of an aggregate product. 3.4 declared value value or range of values that a manufacturer is confident in achieving, taking into account the precision of test methods used, the variety of the production processes and the product performance 3.5 week of production 5 cumulative days of production in a period no longer than 3 months Note 1 to entry:
In the Tables 1 to 3 of the present standard, “week” means week of production. 3.6 month of production 20 cumulative days of production in a period no longer than 6 months 3.7 year of production at least one day of production in a period no longer than 12 months Note 1 to entry:
In the Tables 1 to 3 of the present standard, “year” means year of production. Note 2 to entry: For the purpose of the test frequencies, a year of production is the same as a calendar year. 3.8 batch production quantity, delivery quantity, partial delivery quantity (railway wagon, load, lorry load, ship’s cargo) or stockpile produced at one time under conditions that are presumed uniform Note 1 to entry:
With a continuous process the quantity produced during a specified period should be treated as a batch. SIST EN 16236:2018

10 4.2.3 Test reports The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the construction product has been placed on the market. NOTE Please note the possible existence of local legislation regarding the length of time that such records are kept. “Statutory period” is the period of time during which all the records are kept in accordance with regulations applying at the place of production. 4.2.4 Shared other party results A manufacturer may use the results of the product type determination obtained by someone else (e.g. by another manufacturer or as a common service to manufacturers), to justify his own declaration of performance regarding aggregates that are manufactured with the same grading and with raw materials, constituents and manufacturing methods of the same kind, provided that: — the results are known to be valid for aggregates with the same essential characteristics relevant for the aggregate performance; — in addition to any information essential for confirming that aggregates have such same performances related to specific essential characteristics, the other party who has carried out the determination of the product type concerned or has had it carried out, has expressly accepted to transmit to the manufacturer the results and the test report to be used for the latter’s product type determination, as well as information regarding production facilities and the production control process that can be taken into account for FPC; — the manufacturer using other party results accepts to remain responsible for aggregates having the declared performances and he also:
ensures that aggregates have the same characteristics relevant for performance as the one that has been subjected to the determination of the product type, and that there are no significant differences with regard to production facilities and the production control process compared to that used for aggregates that were subjected to the determination of the product type; and
keeps available a copy of the determination of the product type report that also contains the information needed for verifying that aggregates are manufactured according to the same design and with raw materials and manufacturing methods of the same kind. 4.3 Factory Production Control (FPC) 4.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the aggregates placed on the market conform to the declared performance of the essential characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw materials, equipment, the production process and the product. All the elements, specifications and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. The manufacturer shall establish and maintain a factory production control manual setting out the procedures by which the factory production control is fulfilled. SIST EN 16236:2018

12 a) the preparation of documented procedures and instructions relating to factory production control operations, in accordance with the provisions addressed in the product standard to which reference is made; b) the effective implementation of these procedures and instructions; c) the recording of these operations and their results; d) the use of these results to correct any deviations, repair the effects of such deviations, treat any resulting instances of non-conformity and, if necessary, revise the FPC to rectify the cause of non-constancy of performance. Some characteristics may be shared by several products (see 4.2.1), in which case the manufacturer, based on his experience, may find it possible to apply the results of one test to more than one product. NOTE 2 This can be the case when a product is the combination of two or more different aggregate sizes of the same origin of production. Where the product inspected or tested does not conform to the declared value or declared category, a note shall be made in the records of the steps taken to deal with the situation. NOTE 3 Such a note could report carrying out of a new test and/or putting measures in place to correct the production process. All documentation within the scope of this standard shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the construction product has been placed on the market. NOTE 4 Please note the possible existence of local legislation regarding the length of time that such records are kept. “Statutory period” is the period of time for which all the records are kept in accordance wi
