TAS Surface flatness
AA straight-edge placed along a diaganal of the proposed contact area shall not reveal hollows in excess of 2mm or
0,3 % of the considered length whichever is greater.
74.4 Surface level
‘The plinth shall be level to within a maximum permissible error in rotation from specified position of
03% —forbearings supporting a precast or steel structure,
1% —forbearings supporting a cast in place structure.
NOTE 1 Where profabricatad members are placed on bearings @ layer of grout or similar setting material should normally be
included to take up any discrepancy.
NOTE2 These values do not apply to plain pad bearings and strip bearings. Under normal conditions of installation the
tolerances of the contact area ofthe structure are generally covered by the minimum thickness allowed (see 5.4.1 and 5.5.1).
7.2. Positive means of location
Where a bearing requires positive means of location in accordance with 5.3.3.6, these shall restrict the
movement between the structure and the bearing surfaces in contact with itto no more than § mm or less if
80 specified by the structure designer. They shall be designed to resist the residual horizontal force on
allowing for the friction calculated according to 5.3.3.6, They shall be such that the bearing can be removed
with the structure Jacked up by not more than 10 mm unless otherwise agreed with the designer of the
structure.
7.3. Marking and labelling
Each rubber bearing is uniquely and individually numbered on its extemal faces,
‘Asa minimum, a label is vulcanised! on the top or bottom of the bearing detailing:
the manufacturer's name
the manufacturing number
‘and the manufacturer's name or symbol on one of the edges.
‘Marking shall be resistant to water and normal wear and tear.
Covering the "C" type elastomer bearing systems, an indelible label carrying the same details as those
‘mentioned on the self-vulcanising label (see above).
Bearings with enhanced very low temperature performance shall be distinctly marked "Very Low Temp
NOTE For CE marking and labeling subclause ZA 9 applies.
8 Conformity evaluation
8.1 General
The tests and inspections in this clause shall be carried out to demonstrate the products conformity with this
document.

‘The tests and inspections required under a factory production control scheme shall be in accordance with
annex N.
8.2 Control of the construction product and its manufacture
8.24 General
‘The extent and frequency of factory production control by the manufacturer shall be in accordance with Tables 7
and 8.
In addition, the bearing manufacturer shall check the inspection certificates of constituents comply with this
document,
8.2.2 Initial type tests
‘The type tests shall be carried out prior to commencing the manufacture by an approved testing laboratory,
or under their direction.
The requirements are specified in 43.
The type test frequency and the sample sizes are defined in Tables 6, 7 and 8.
NOTE 1 The tests may be carried out at the manufacturers premises provided that the equipment is callorated to @ National
andlor European Standard and that the tests are directed by a representative of the approved test laboratory.
NOTE2 When required, an analysis may be made on a sample of the compound from a bearing. The analysis type should
bbe defined by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
8.2.3. Routine testing
The routine testing shall be carried out continuously by the manufacturer.
For complete bearings the requirements are specified in 4.3,
‘The routine test frequency and the sample sizes are defined in Tables 5, 7 and 8,
‘The routine test frequency for complete bearings is defined in terms of volume for each thickness category
as determined hereafter,
“The complete bearing production is broken down into four categories of thickness as defined hereafter:
t= hes 50 mm
