Who is the Association for Specialist Fire Protection?
FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day 
Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism 
Why 
In recognition of a need to bring together passive fire protection (PFP) manufacturers, contractors and testing/certification bodies to encourage, develop and give guidance on essential standards in PFP.

•European product standards (hEN) – prepared in CEN 
•European Technical Assessments – (ETAs) – prepared by an Approval Body against a European Assessment Document (EAD) (only where no hEN exists)

European product standards (hEN) 
•Acknowledged by the European Commission as being one used in the CE marking process 
•is termed a ‘harmonised’ EN (hEN) 
•Is given this status by announcement in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) 
•A list of all harmonised ENs under the CPD can be found on the EU website http://is.gd/pNIr6x

•Performance requirements for the product in support of the relevant Basic Works Requirements of the CPR: 
–Mechanical resistance and stability 
–Safety in case of fire 
–Hygiene, health and environment 
–Safety in use 
–Protection against noise 
–Energy economy and heat retention 
–Environmental Product Declarations 
–Sustainable use of natural resources (new) 
What’s in hENs and EADs?

Role of third party bodies (AVCP) 
•Assessment & Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) 
•The level of AVCP depends upon the essential requirements, the product and its end use 
•There are five systems of AVCP: 
–System 1 – All controlled by Notified Certification Body or Technical Approval Body 
–System 3 – Used for less critical products than system 1 
–System 4 – Used for less critical products than system 3

•CPR is directly applicable in all Member States 
•CPR came into force June 2013 
•CE marking mandatory if product is covered by a hEN 
•CE marking still voluntary if product covered by an EAD 
•So…. 
Timescale - 1

Timescale - 2 
The date at which CE marking becomes mandatory is determine by the product standard and principally the date that the product standard is published either as an EAD or as a hEN

What you need to do – 1 
•Determine if your product is covered by a harmonised product standard (hEN) or an European Assessment Document (EAD) 
•Determine the status of the hEN or ETAG. Is it published or still in development? Many are still being drafted 
•Determine how many of your products can be grouped together into families 
•Approach a Notified Body (for products covered by a hEN) or an Technical Approval Body (TAB) for products covered by an ETAG/EAD)
FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day 
Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism 
Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 
What you need to do – 2 
•If the products is AVCP system 3 then: 
–Organise the testing with a Notified Body (test lab) 
–Make a Declaration of Performance 
–CE mark your product accordingly 
•If the products is AVCP system 1 then: 
–Notified Certification Body (for hEN products) or a Technical Approval Body (TAB for EAD products) will organise the testing and issue a Certificate of Conformity. 
–Make a Declaration of Performance 
–CE mark your product accordingly.

Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 
What you need to do – 3 
A most important step is: 
•Choose a good Notified Test/Certification Body or Technical Approval Body (TAB). 
•For Notified test laboratories, look for those who are members of EGOLF (European organisation for fire testing, inspection and certification) 
•For Notified certification bodies and Notified test laboratories, ask if they regularly participate in the Group of Notified Bodies Fire Sector Group (they should).

Final points 
•There is a lot of misinformation about CE marking 
•Some stakeholders claim CE marking is mandatory, when it is not yet so for many products 
•Some stakeholders will claim that it is not mandatory, when it is 
•Some manufacturers will voluntarily CE mark their products to get an advantage in the market. If enough do so then it may become de facto mandatory 
•It will take some years before it becomes the norm throughout the construction industry 
•The ASFP will always be around for guidance!

  • 36. FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 What you need to do – 1 •Determine if your product is covered by a harmonised product standard (hEN) or an European Assessment Document (EAD) •Determine the status of the hEN or ETAG. Is it published or still in development? Many are still being drafted •Determine how many of your products can be grouped together into families •Approach a Notified Body (for products covered by a hEN) or an Technical Approval Body (TAB) for products covered by an ETAG/EAD)
  • 37. FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 What you need to do – 2 •If the products is AVCP system 3 then: –Organise the testing with a Notified Body (test lab) –Make a Declaration of Performance –CE mark your product accordingly •If the products is AVCP system 1 then: –Notified Certification Body (for hEN products) or a Technical Approval Body (TAB for EAD products) will organise the testing and issue a Certificate of Conformity. –Make a Declaration of Performance –CE mark your product accordingly.
  • 38. FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 What you need to do – 3 A most important step is: •Choose a good Notified Test/Certification Body or Technical Approval Body (TAB). •For Notified test laboratories, look for those who are members of EGOLF (European organisation for fire testing, inspection and certification) •For Notified certification bodies and Notified test laboratories, ask if they regularly participate in the Group of Notified Bodies Fire Sector Group (they should).
  • 39. FIA Risk Assessor CPD Training Day Pioneering fire protection through innovation and professionalism Promat Fire Safety Day – 2014 Final points •There is a lot of misinformation about CE marking •Some stakeholders claim CE marking is mandatory, when it is not yet so for many products •Some stakeholders will claim that it is not mandatory, when it is •Some manufacturers will voluntarily CE mark their products to get an advantage in the market. If enough do so then it may become de facto mandatory •It will take some years before it becomes the norm throughout the construction industry •The ASFP will always be around for guidance!
