These characteristics shall be evaluated:  without any ageing, according to EN ISO 8339 or EN ISO 8340,  after ageing, according to EN ISO 9046, EN ISO 9047, EN ISO 10590 or EN ISO 10591 depending on the class of sealants given in Table 2. The sealant performance is determined by classification to Table 2 and this classification will indicate suitable durability of the sealant after ageing. Long-term durability of joints based on such sealants is obtained when they are selected and applied according to the sealant data sheets, taking into account the expected service conditions on site. Sealants are easy to use, ready to use and easy to remove when any unavoidable or unexpected degradation arises. 6 Sampling General requirements for sampling of the sealant shall be as set out in EN 15651-5. 7 Evaluation of conformity 7.1 General The factory production control (FPC) needs to be defined by each sealant manufacturer in order to show compliance to the level of performance indicated in the initial type testing (ITT). 7.2 Initial type testing General requirements for the initial type testing of the sealant shall be as set out in EN 15651-5.
7.3 Factory production control Requirements for the initial type testing of the sealant shall be in accordance with EN 15651-5. An example of suitable frequency of identification and performance tests for FPC is given in Annex A. Frequencies may be increased during initial production or following an incident of non-conformity. Any deviation from this guidance should be justified by documented evidence that demonstrates equivalence. 8 Marking and labelling Requirements for marking and labelling shall be as set out in EN 15651-5. NOTE For CE marking and labelling, ZA.3 applies. SIST EN 15651-1:2013
