— FT2 NOTE The characteristics determined in 4.2 are not included in the designation code if a limit value (threshold value) is given for the product. 7 Evaluation of Conformity The manufacturer or his authorised representative shall be responsible for the conformity of his product with the requirements of this European Standard. The evaluation of conformity shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13172 and shall be based on initial type testing (ITT), factory production control (FPC) by the manufacturer, including product assessment and tests on samples taken at the factory. The compliance of the product with the requirements of this standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:  initial type testing (ITT),  factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. SIST EN 13164:2009

For the EC certificate and declaration of conformity, as appropriate, see ZA.2.2. 8 Marking and labelling Products conforming to this standard shall be clearly marked, either on the product or on a label or on the packaging with the following information:  product name or other identifying characteristic1
 name or identifying mark and address of the manufacturer or his authorised representative;  shift or time of production and manufacturing plant or traceability code;  reaction to fire class;  declared thermal resistance;  declared thermal conductivity;  nominal thickness;  designation code as given in Clause 6;  type of facing/coating, if any;  nominal length, nominal width;  number of pieces and area in the package, as appropriate. NOTE For CE marking and labelling, see ZA.3.

Determination of the declared values of thermal resistance and thermal conductivity A.1 General It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the declared values of thermal resistance and thermal conductivity. He will have to demonstrate conformity of the product to its declared values. The declared values of thermal resistance and thermal conductivity of a product are the expected values of these properties during an economically reasonable working life under normal conditions, assessed through measured data at reference conditions. A.2 Input data The manufacturer shall have at least ten test results for thermal resistance and thermal conductivity, obtained from internal or external direct measurements in order to calculate the declared values in accordance with Annex C. The direct thermal resistance and thermal conductivity measurements shall be carried out at regular intervals, spread over a time period of the last twelve months. If less than ten
