6241 General
Relevant type tests shall be carried out on new products and whenever there is a change in design, in
material and/or in production method, other than routine in-process adjustment and extension of the product
range (S90 Table 3). A change of supplior of a material or stabilisor doos not lead to a change in parformance
if the chemical composition remains the same.
Material modifications within certain limits are not considered as a change of material. Guidance for these
limits can be found in the standards given in Annex B.
For tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of the standards listed in Annex A, or the
recognized European specification, as applicable, (same product, same characteristio(s), same test method,
same system of attestation ete.) the results may be taken into account.
All characteristics given in Clause 4 shall be subject to calculation andior initial type testing, except 4.6.2
where the characteristics of the components used have already been determined by the component
manufacturer on the basis of conformity with other product standards. However this does not relieve the
manufacturer of the piping system from the responsibility of ensuring that the system conforms to the
requirements of this document
6.2.2 _ Initial type test requirements
‘The initial type testing of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the
‘sampling procedure givan under type tosts (TT) of the applicable product specific standards for assessmant of

63. Factory production control
63.4 General
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed
(on the market conform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures,
regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and tho uso of tho results to control raw and other incoming
‘materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product.
If the manufacturer has the component designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and labelled
by ‘subcontracting, FPG of the original manufacturer may be taken into account. However, where
subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shail retain the overall control of the component 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 commen understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of
the required component characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be
checked.BS EN 15014:2007
Factory production control therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing
maintenance and control of the conformity of the component with its technical specifications. Its
implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on raw materials and constituents, processes,
manufacturing equipment and finished components, including material properties in components, and by
making use of the results thus obtained,
The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken.
‘The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period
‘specified in the manufacturers FPC procedures.
The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, and the inspection
‘scheme for ensuring their conformity shall be established.
Manufacturers operating a quality system, which conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant
requirements of EN ISO 9001:2000 and which is made specific to products covered by this European
‘Standard shall be deemed to satisfy the FPC requirements of this European Standard.
6.3.2 FPC requirements
‘The FPC of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the sampling
procedure given under batch release tests (BRT) of the applicable product specific standards for assessment
of conformity as given in Annex B. If the standard does not contain one or more of the characteristics, then
testing as given in Table 4 shall apply.
For products where no such standard exists Table 4 shall apply.
