4 Factory production control
4.1 General requirements
4.1.1 Concept
Factory production control means the permanent internal control of ground granulated blast furnace slag
production and consists of internal quality control (see 4.2) completed by autocontrol testing of samples of
ground granulated blast furnace slag taken at the point of release (see 4.3).
NOTE 1 The requirements of this document as regards factory production control apply to factories and their depots.
NOTE 2 The requirements of this document in regards to factory production control take into account the clauses of
EN ISO 9001 which are relevant to the production, process control and testing of ground granulated blast furnace slag.
4.1.2 Works’ quality documentation
The manufacturer's documentation and procedures for factory production control shall be described in the
Works' quality documentation, which shall adequately describe, among other things for each factory and
depot:
a) the quality aims and the organizational structure, responsibilities and powers of the management with
regard to product quality and the means to monitor the achievement of the required product quality and
the effective operation of the internal quality control (see 4.1.3 and 4.2);
b) the manufacturing and quality control techniques, processes and systematic actions that will be used
(see 4.2.1, 4.2.3 and 4.3.2);
c) the inspections and tests that will be carried out before, during and after manufacture, and the frequency
with which they will be carried out (see 4.2.2, 4.3.1 and 4.3.3).
The Works' quality documentation shall include an adequate system of documentation (see 4.1.4 and 4.3.4).
The Works' quality documentation shall address and document the procedures operated to ensure that the
manufactured ground granulated blast furnace slag conforms to the performance(s) declared in accordance
with EN 15167-1. The documentation may reference associated documents which provide further details of
the autocontrol testing of samples and the internal quality control. For the purpose of this scheme, the term
Works' quality documentation shall be considered to include these associated documents.
In the case of an existing quality management system according to EN ISO 9001, the corresponding quality
documentation may also be applied for product certification if it meets all requirements of this document
which are relevant to the factory production control of ground granulated blast furnace slag.
4.1.3 Quality management system
4.1.3.1 Quality policy statement
The Works’ quality documentation shall include a statement by management defining its quality policy,
objectives and commitments to the attainment of product quality.
4.1.3.2 Quality manager
A quality manager shall be appointed who, irrespective of other responsibilities, shall have defined and
adequate authority and responsibility for ensuring that the requirements of this document for the AVCP are
implemented and maintained.
This testing corresponds also to the "further testing of samples taken at the manufacturing plant" mentioned in
Delegated Regulation (EU) No 568/2014 amending Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (Construction Products
Regulation).

controlled.
This control shall ensure that the appropriate issues of all documents are available at essential locations, that
obsolete documents are withdrawn and that changes or modifications to any document are effectively
introduced.
A system shall be established to identify the current version of documents in order to prevent the use of non-
applicable documents.
4.1.4.2 Quality records

produced meeting the targets and control limits.
The Works' quality documentation shall describe the methods used by the manufacturer to ensure that the
composition of the ground granulated blast furnace slag produced conforms to the performance(s) declared
in accordance with EN 15167-1, including appropriate test methods.
4.2.1.3 Control of off-specification production or non-conformity
The Works' quality documentation shall contain procedures for the review and adjustment of the factory
production control in case of off-specification production or non-conformity.
The actions taken in the event of non-conformity shall be recorded in a report subject to inspection during
the management review.
4.2.2 Measuring and testing
4.2.2.1 Inspection, measuring and test equipment
The equipment for in-process inspection and testing shall be regularly checked and calibrated in accordance
with the procedures and frequencies laid down in the Works' quality documentation.
4.2.2.2 Inspection and test status
Procedures for the inspection and test status through the stages of manufacture shall be detailed in the
Works' quality documentation. These shall include procedures for the control of off-specification
intermediate materials.
4.2.3 Handling, storage, packaging and delivery
The Works' quality documentation shall describe the precautions taken for the protection of the quality of
the ground granulated blast furnace slag while under the responsibility of the manufacturer for the factory
and each depot. Delivery documentation shall allow traceability to the producing works.
4.3 Autocontrol testing of samples
