6.3.4 Initial inspection of factory and FPC

• the FPC-documentation, and

• the factory.

In the initial assessment of the factory and FPC, the following shall be verified:

1. that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics required by this European Standard are (see 6.3.4.1) available, and

2. that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC-documentation are (see 6.3.4.1) implemented and followed in practice, and

3. that the product complies (see 6.3.4.1) with the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with this European Standard has been verified.

6.3.4.3 All assessments and their results shall be documented in a report.

In the case of modification of the smoke control duct section, the method of production or the FPC system (where these may affect the smoke control duct section’s declared performance characteristics), a re­assessment of the factory and of the FPC system shall be performed for those aspects (including the relevant ITT), which may be affected by the modification.

All assessments and their results shall be documented in a report.

6.4 One-off smoke control duct sections, pre-production smoke control duct sections (e.g. prototypes) and smoke control duct sections produced in very low quantities

Smoke control duct sections produced as a one-off, prototypes assessed before full production is established, and smoke control duct sections produced in very low quantities (less than 30 per year) shall be assessed as follows.

For initial type assessment, the provisions of 6.2 shall apply, with the following exceptions:

— all smoke control duct sections presented for test shall be supported by full design documentation,

— a sampling process is not required as no “production” batch will be available.

The FPC system of one-off smoke control duct sections and those produced in very low quantities shall ensure that raw materials and/or components are sufficient for their production. The provisions of 6.3 shall apply, only where appropriate. The records allowing traceability of the smoke control duct sections shall be maintained.

For prototypes, where the intention is to move to series production, the initial inspection of the factory and FPC shall be carried out before the production is already running and/or before the FPC is already in practice. The following shall be assessed:

• the FPC-documentation; and

• the factory.

In the initial assessment of the factory and FPC it shall be verified:

1. that all resources necessary for the achievement of smoke control duct sections characteristics required by this European Standard will be available, and

2. that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC-documentation will be implemented and followed in practice, and

3. that procedures are in place to demonstrate that the factory production processes can produce a smoke control duct section complying with the requirements of this European Standard and that smoke control duct sections will be the same as the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with this European Standard has been verified.

Once series production is fully established, the provisions of FPC in 6.3 shall apply.

7. Marking and documentation

Each smoke control duct section shall be marked as follows:

• the name or identifying mark of the manufacturer,

• the model/type,

• the number of this standard and the year of its publication (i.e. EN 12101-7:2011), followed by the generic name of the product "Smoke Control Duct Section",

• the classification for resistance to fire and other related information according to EN 13501-4,
