Figure 7 — Measurement of twist of section 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General The compliance of metal framing components with the requirements of this document and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:  Initial Type Testing (ITT);  Factory Production Control by the producer (FPC). For the purposes of testing, metal framing components may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the selected property is common to all metal framing components within that family. The decision on those products or properties which fall within a family shall be made by the producer. 6.2 Type testing 6.2.1 General Sampling and testing shall be in accordance with Clause 5. The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the producer for at least 5 years. 6.2.2 Initial type testing Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this document.
Initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a new metal framing components type (unless it is a member of a family previously tested) or at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may significantly affect the stated properties).
