The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take responsibility for the product. 6.2 Initial type testing and Type Testing 6.2.1 General Initial type testing and type testing shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with this European Standard. All essential characteristics, for which the manufacturer declares performances, are subject to Initial Type Testing. In addition, the need to perform Type Tests applies to all other characteristics included in a standard when the manufacturer claims compliance, unless the standard gives provisions (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT (classified without further testing) and conventionally accepted performance) for declaring performances without performing tests. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same system of attestation of conformity on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question. NOTE Same system of attestation of conformity means testing by an independent third party under the responsibility of a product certification body. For the purposes of testing, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are representative for those same characteristics for all products within that same family. Products may be in different families for different characteristics. Reference to the test method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. Therefore Type Tests or Initial Type Testing shall be performed, including identification according to EN 12802, for all characteristics included in the standard for which the manufacturer declares performances: kSIST FprEN 1871:2012

or  they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the paint, thermoplastic and cold plastic materials design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of compliance with other product standards, these characteristics need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented, as shall be included in the inspection scheme for ensuring their compliance. Products marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with that marking, although this does not replace the responsibility of road marking designer to ensure that the paint, thermoplastic and cold plastic as a whole assembly is correctly designed and its component products have the necessary performance values to meet the design. 6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria The number of samples of paint, thermoplastic and cold plastic materials to be tested/assessed for Initial type testing and type testing shall be in accordance with Table 11. kSIST FprEN 1871:2012

6.2.3 Test reports All Type Tests, Initial Type Tests and their results shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the paint, thermoplastic and cold plastic materials to which they relate.
