11 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General Evaluation of conformity in accordance with this European Standard shall be as a result of Factory Production Control and Initial Type Testing in accordance with this European Standard: 1) Factory production control;
This shall include the following:
a) Inspection of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan;
b) Initial inspection of the factory and of factory production control;
c) Continuous surveillance and assessment of the factory production control. 2) Initial type testing of the product; NOTE There may be a need to involve a third party, with 1b, 1c, and/or 2, for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). 5.2 Initial type testing of the product (see 5.1, 2) 5.2.1 General All the product’s characteristics shall be initial type tested to verify they are in conformity with the requirements of this European Standard. In addition instead of performing any actual testing, initial type testing may make use of:  generally accepted and/or conventional and/or standardised values, in the Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards;  standardised calculation methods and recognised calculation methods in the Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards;  test report(s) on the basis of 5.2.1.2 when made available except for the characteristics listed in 5.2.2.  where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be reassessed providing they remain unchanged by the manufacturing process;  release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned;  durability may be assessed indirectly by controlling the production processes according to this European Standard; NOTE 1 Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking.
NOTE 2 There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). When actual testing is required then the Initial Type Testing (ITT) shall be undertaken on a sample representative of the product taken from direct production or a prototype, any plant and/ or line.

 determining that the laminated safety glass material design conforms to EN ISO 12543-2.  determining that the laminated glass material design conforms to EN ISO 12543-3. 5.2.2.2 Test specimens The test specimens for the initial type test shall conform to the minimum specification(s) of the product family design for a specific intended use/characteristic (see 4.3.2.1 to 4.3.2.13). NOTE 1 When the intended uses comprises bullet resistance, explosion resistance and/or burglar resistance, and the product is to be defined as a laminated safety glass then the classification according to EN 12600 can be undertaken on test specimens that consist of two glasses, thickness 3 mm nominal, separated by an interlayer, thickness 0,76 mm nominal. When for a type of glass no 3 mm nominal exists, the nearest thickness should be used. When for a type of interlayer no 0,76 mm nominal exist, the nearest thickness should be used.
3 The terms ‘manufacturer’ and ‘producer’ are understood as being synonyms (see CPD working document NB-CPD/02/019-issued 24 April 2002 – page1)

13 The test specimens for the radiation test (see Clause 6 of EN ISO 12543-4:1998) shall conform to the minimum specification of the product family related to interlayer type. NOTE 2 The undertaking of a radiation test can be unnecessary if test reports are supplied by interlayer supplier. 5.2.3 Initial type testing (ITT) of characteristic’s performances
All characteristics in 4.3.2 shall be subject to initial type testing in accordance with 5.2.1. NOTE Annex D includes information on those changes that may require a new ITT
5.3 Factory production control (FPC) and inspection of samples in accordance with a prescribed test plan (see 5.1, 1a and b) Factory production control means the permanent internal control of production exercised by the manufacturer.
All elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of quality assurance and enable the achievement of the required product characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control shall be according to Annex A of this European Standard. NOTE 1 A factory production control system similar to EN ISO 9001 made product specific to this European Standard is deemed to satisfy the requirements of this clause. NOTE 2 There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). Annex A of this European Standard also summarizes the tests to be carried out by the manufacturer as part of the production control in the factory, and as further testing of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan. 5.4 Initial inspection of factory and of factory production control (see 5.1, 1c) The initial inspection of the factory and of the factory production control shall cover the parameters listed in Table 3 in conjunction with Annex A.
NOTE There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA).

NOTE There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). The frequency of production surveillance shall be twice per year for new production facilities or for facilities that do not already have an established factory production control system in accordance with this European Standard.
When assessment of FPC fails to identify major non-conformances during four successive assessments, the frequency can be reduced to once a year. When a major non-conformance is recorded, the inspection shall be repeated within two months. The frequency of production surveillance shall return to, or remain at twice a year. When the repeated inspection also results in a major non-conformance, then the production shall be subject within two months to a repeated initial inspection of the factory and of the factory production control together with a surveillance inspection. When this repeated initial inspection and surveillance inspection also results in a major non-conformance then the products are considered as no longer conforming to this European Standard.

15 6 Marking and/or labelling 6.1 General All voluntary marking and/or labelling shall comply with Annex E.3.
Care shall be taken to ensure that any voluntary marking and/or labelling does not cause confusion with respect to the mandatory requirements.

The "characteristics/performance identification paper" can be a catalogue in any media format (paper, disk, website, etc.), always identifiable by the reference that accompanies the marking with the product. The catalogue shall contain the values or classes of the characteristics for which a performance is declared. If no performance is declared, an indication of no performance determined (NPD) shall be made. NOTE 1 The conditions of use of NPD are given in Annex ZA. NOTE 2 The catalogue should not contain any information other than that relevant to the “characteristics/performance identification paper”.
