This procedure also applies if the design is subsequently amended structurally or if the material is changed All subsequent amendments, whether structural or not, shall have the approval of the certification body, if required

4.3 Factory production control

The purpose of the factory production control is to constantly ensure that current production of floor gullies, roof drains and access covers is in conformity with the technical requirements of EN 1253–1,

EN 1253-2, and EN 1253–4

Suitable staff and independence of quality control of production are indispensable prerequisites

The facilities necessary for factory production control include the measuring and test equipment for the tests in accordance with EN 1253-1, EN 1253–2 and EN 1253–4

The factory production control shall at least cover the specific items listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3

The documentation shall include all steps of production from the incoming raw materials to the final product leaving the factory

The factory production control may be organized in accordance with EN ISO 9001 The manufacturer shall have at his disposal:

— an organization scheme with defined responsibilities;

— skilled personnel;

— all the necessary production facilities;

— all the necessary testing facilities

Furthermore, the manufacturer shall establish and maintain a quality plan in which process and final inspections are listed Apart from the inspection aspect, the quality plan shall also contain the method and frequency of inspection and the documentation Tables 1, 2 and 3 give a model scheme of factory production control and list a minimum of specific items to be covered Finally, the manufacturer shall establish and maintain written procedures for:

— document control;

— control of non-conforming products, their storage, handling and marking;

— dealing with complaints from customers;

— calibration and control of measuring and testing equipment

Annex A

(informative)

Control by third party (third party control)

A.1 General

The purpose of the third party control is to demonstrate the ability of the manufacturer to manufacture products which continuously meet the requirements of EN 1253–1, EN 1253-2 and EN 1253–4 and to give independent certification to these products

A.2 Procedure of the third party control

Third party control consists of:

— approval of type testing;

— general evaluation of the production and testing facilities as well as suitability of staff;

— controlling and approval of the system and of the results of the factory production control;

— independent testing of finished products, covering at least the aspects listed in Tables A.1, A.2 and A.3

Table A.1 — Third party control on trapped floor gullies with a depth water seal of at least

50 mm in accordance with EN 1253–1:2015

Items to be inspected Requirements Test methods Samples to be examined at each visit of inspector

At least two specimens with different nominal sizes (DN) of three different typesa of gullies

certificates of compliance Skirt membrane affixed

Classification by

a Trapped floor gullies are of the same type, when they have the same design and construction characteristics and when they are of the same material, however they may have different features

Inspection visits by the third party are carried out at regular intervals two times a year

The inspection may be reduced after two years without failures to once a year, provided that the independent certification body has made sure that the manufacturer's quality control system is adequate, that the controls have been continuously carried out in a proper and effective way and that its results are in compliance with the requirements of EN 1253–1, EN 1253-2 and EN 1253–4 This reduced inspection frequency is valid as long as no non-conforming products are detected

b) name and location of the production plant;

c) title and number of this standard;

d) description and manufacturer's reference numbers of products tested;

e) results of the inspection in terms of:

1) staff,

2) production and testing facilities,

3) conformity of the products,

4) factory production control,

5) document control,

6) control, handling and disposal of non-conforming products,

7) calibration and control of measuring equipment,

f) signature of the manufacturer's representative, place and date;

g) inspector's signature

Within four weeks after the inspection, an official report will be sent to the manufacturer by the third party

A.4 Retesting

If during the third party inspection a unit fails, three more units of the same type will be tested If one of these three fails, the production related to the failure(s) will be excluded from delivery pending the outcome of further investigation

Within a period of four weeks or within a period to be agreed upon, the manufacturer will be reassessed with respect to the rejected non-conforming product; six of these products will be tested

After satisfactory retesting of all these units delivery may recommence

A.5 Non-conforming products

If during the factory production control non-conforming products are detected, the manufacturer's quality control stops the production related to the failure(s)

All non-conforming products are segregated and excluded from delivery, and instructions are given for further handling, storage and marking

Only after thorough investigation, due correction of the failure(s) and final control, the responsible for quality person of the manufacturer agrees upon recommencement of production
