Factory Production Control – Regulation no. 305/2011 – FPC

Regulation 305/2011 – FPC/CPR

What is Factory Production Control certification of a construction product within CPR?

The manufacturer of a construction product shall carry out “assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics” according to one of the systems set out in Annex V of Regulation 305/2011 (CPR). In the assessment system 1+, 1 and 2+, the notified body participates as a third party. In systems 1 and 1+, the NB certifies the product based on, among other things, inspection and surveillance of the FPC, issuing a certificate of constancy of performance for the product. In system 2+, the body certifies the production control (FPC) by issuing a certificate of conformity of the factory production control.

As a result of the procedure, the manufacturer or his authorised representative issues, under his own responsibility, a declaration of performance and affixes a CE marking on the product, which is the only marking confirming the conformity of the construction product with the declared performance as well as with the applicable requirements relating to EU harmonisation legislation.

Which products are subject to certification for conformity with Regulation 305/2011

The CPR applies to construction products placed on or made available on the market.  To ensure the appropriate performance of the construction product and production stability, the manufacturer should carry out continuous, internal, and documented control of the production in progress – Factory Production Control (CPR).

How does the certification of the FPC with the PRS proceed?

We carry out the conformity assessment of FPC upon granted accreditation No. AC 114 and the EU notification No. 1463, for structural metal products and aggregates for high-security applications, following the requirements of the regulations concerning the declaration of properties of the construction product by the manufacturer in the assessment system 2+ (indicated in the harmonised technical specification).
