Systems of Attestation of Compliance (SAC)
Compliance control criteria, varying according to product and relative harmonised standard of reference, are the following:

• System 1+: Certification of Compliance is issued by a Notified Body performing a compliance evaluation on the type of product to the relative harmonised standard and a continuous surveillance over the Factory Production Control (FPC), also through periodical sample surveys both from the factory and the market;

• System 1: Certification of Compliance is issued by a Notified Body performing a compliance evaluation on the type of product to the relative harmonised standard and also a continuous surveillance over the Factory Production Control (FPC);

• System 2+: Declaration of Compliance is issued by manufacturers, on the basis of the Initial Type Testing (ITT) carried out under their own responsibility, contextually to the intervention of a Notified Body performing continuous surveillance over the Factory Production Control (FPC);

• System 2: Declaration of Compliance is issued by manufacturers, on the basis of the Initial Type Testing (ITT) carried out under their own responsibility, contextually to the intervention of a Notified Body performing initial inspection of the Factory and its Production Control (FPC);

• System 3: Declaration of Compliance issued by manufacturers, on the basis of Initial Type Tests (ITT) performed by a notified laboratory, and Factory Production Controls (FPC) carried out under their own responsibility;

• System 4: Declaration of Compliance issued by manufacturers, on the basis of Initial Type Tests (ITT), and Factory Production Controls (FPC) carried out under their own responsibility;

Law requirements

Directive 89/106/EEC is a communitarian law which prescribes the EC mark for all products entering “Construction Works”. In order to apply Directive 89/106/EEC, regarding security of construction products, the European Union has demanded CEN the elaboration of harmonized standards concerning construction products, to be applied in the Union Countries.

In Italy the directive was implemented through D.P.R n. 246/1993, which has become its enacting Regulation. Said D.P.R requires all products commercialized in the European Community to affix the EC mark within a certain period; Art. 11 of the D.P.R, in fact, clears that all products lacking the EC mark after the deadline must be withdrawn from the market and cannot be installed in buildings.

Obligation addressees


	Each manufacturer is obliged to prepare and maintain active a “Factory Production Control System” (FPC), based on a series of characterization tests (ITT – Initial Type Test). Said tests are recalled in Appendix ZA of the harmonised standards. Appendix ZA defines minimal requirements to determine in order to demonstrate compliance to harmonised standard of reference. Manufacturers will have to document and preserve tests results.
