Before conditioning, subject the specimen to the functional test required by 12.1 or 12.2.

The specimen shall be mounted as required by 11.2 and be connected as required by 11.3. Power need not be supplied.

The specimen shall be conditioned in accordance with EN 60529 for protection against solid foreign objects.

Monitor the specimen during the conditioning period to check that the output voltage is within the manufacturer’s specified limits. No change in the status of the equipment is allowed.

Within 30 min after the end of the recovery period, subject the specimen to the functional test required by 12.1 or 12.2 and inspect it visually for mechanical damage both externally and internally.

The following EMC immunity tests shall be carried out on any p.s.e. intended to be provided with mains electrical power in accordance with EN 50130-4:

1. mains voltage variations;

2. mains supply voltage dips and interruptions;

3. electrostatic discharge;

4. radiated electromagnetic fields;

5. conducted disturbances induced by electromagnetic fields;

6. fast transient bursts;

7. slow high energy voltage surges.

The functional test, called for in the initial and final measurements, shall be the reduced functional test as described in 12.1.3.

NOTE The connections to the various inputs should be made with unscreened cables unless the manufacturer’s installation data specify that only screened cables should be used.

13 Evaluation of conformity

The compliance of electrical and pneumatic power supply equipment (p.s.e.) with the requirements of this European Standard shall be demonstrated by:

• initial type testing;

• factory production control by the manufacturer.

NOTE The manufacturer is a natural or legal person, who places the p.s.e. on the market under his own name. Normally, the manufacturer designs and manufactures the p.s.e. himself. As a first alternative, he may have it designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed or labelled by subcontracting. As a second alternative he may assemble, pack, process, or label ready-made products.

The manufacturer shall ensure:

• initial type testing in accordance with this document is initiated and carried out; and

• p.s.e. continuously complies with the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with this European Standard has been verified.

The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary competence to take the responsibility for the p.s.e.

The manufacturer, when affixing the CE marking to the p.s.e., shall be fully responsible for the conformity of that p.s.e. to all relevant regulatory requirements. However, where the manufacturer uses components already shown to conform to those requirements relevant for that component (e.g. by CE marking) the manufacturer is not required to repeat the evaluation which led to such conformity. Where the manufacturer uses components not already shown to conform, it is his responsibility to undertake the necessary evaluation to show conformity.

All performance characteristics given in this standard shall be subject to this initial type testing.

NOTE Same system of attestation of conformity means testing by an independent third party under the control of a product certification body.

NOTE In the case of prototypes and third party certification, this means that it is the manufacturer not the third party who is responsible for selecting the samples. During the initial inspection of the factory and of the factory production control (see 13.3), it is verified that the p.s.e. continuously complies with the initial type testing samples.

FPC is the permanent internal control of production exercised by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the p.s.e. placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics.

If the manufacturer has the p.s.e. designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and labelled by subcontracting, FPC of the subcontractor may be taken into account. Where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the p.s.e. and ensure that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfil his responsibilities according to this European Standard. The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances discharge himself of his responsibilities to a subcontractor.

All the 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 conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required product characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked.

Factory production control therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the conformity of the p.s.e. with technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials and constituents, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished products, including material properties in products, and by making use of the results thus obtained.

The FPC system shall fulfil the requirements as described in the following clauses of EN ISO 9001:2000, where applicable:

• 4.2 except 4.2.1 a);

— 5.1 e), 5.5.1, 5.5.2;

• Clause 6;

• 7.1 except 7.1 a), 7.2.3 c), 7.4, 7.5, 7.6;

• 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.3, 8.5.2.

The FPC system may be part of a Quality Management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000.

• address this European Standard; and

• ensure that the p.s.e. placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics.

• controls and tests to be carried out prior to and/or during manufacture according to a frequency laid down; and/or

• verifications and tests to be carried out on finished p.s.e. according to a frequency laid down.

If the manufacturer uses only finished p.s.e., the operations under b) shall lead to an equivalent level of conformity of the p.s.e. as if normal FPC had been carried out during the production.

If the manufacturer carries out parts of the production himself, the operations under b) may be reduced and partly be replaced by operations under a). Generally, the more parts of the production are carried out by the manufacturer, the more operations under b) may be replaced by operations under a). In any case the operation shall lead to an equivalent level of conformity of the p.s.e. as if normal FPC had been carried out during the production.

NOTE Depending on the specific case, it can be necessary to carry out the operations referred to under a) and b), only the operations under a) or only those under b).

The operations under a) centre as much on the intermediate states of the p.s.e. as on manufacturing machines and their adjustment, and equipment etc. These controls and tests and their frequency are chosen based on product type and composition, the manufacturing process and its complexity, the sensitivity of product features to variations in manufacturing parameters etc.

The manufacturer shall establish and maintain records which provide evidence that the production has been sampled and tested. These records shall show clearly whether the production has satisfied the defined acceptance criteria. Where the p.s.e. fails to satisfy the acceptance measures, the provisions for non­conforming products shall apply, the necessary corrective action shall immediately be taken and the p.s.e. or batches not conforming shall be isolated and properly identified. Once the fault has been corrected, the test or verification in question shall be repeated.

The results of controls and tests shall be properly recorded. The product description, date of manufacture, test method adopted, test results and acceptance criteria shall be entered in the records under the signature of the person responsible for the control/test. With regard to any control result not meeting the requirements of this European Standard, the corrective measures taken to rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of manufacturing process, throwing away or putting right of product) shall be indicated in the records.

It is however possible, that the initial inspection of factory and FPC is carried out before the production is already running and/or before the FPC is already in practice.

• FPC-documentation; and

• factory.

In the assessment of the factory it shall be verified:

1. all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics required by this document are or will be (see 13.3.4.1) available; and

2. FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC-documentation are or will be (see 13.3.4.1) implemented and followed in practice; and

3. p.s.e. complies or will comply (see 13.3.4.1) with the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with this document has been verified; and

4. whether the FPC system is part of a Quality Management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 (see 13.3.2) and as part of this Quality Management system is certified and has yearly surveillance by a notified certification body.

Where different types of p.s.e. are produced at a factory, each FPC visit shall verify a different p.s.e. or production process.

NOTE 1 Sufficient proof can be the report of a notified certification body, see 13.3.4.2 d).

NOTE 2 If the over all Quality Management system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 is properly implemented (verified in the initial assessment of factory and FPC) and continuously practised (verified in QM-audits), it can be assumed that the integrated FPC-relevant part is covered. On this basis the frequency of special FPC-surveillance-assessments can be reduced.

In the case of modification of the p.s.e., the method of production or the FPC system (where these may affect the stated properties), a re-assessment of the factory and of the FPC system shall be performed for those aspects which may be affected by the modification.

All assessment and its results shall be documented in a report.
