13 Addition of Clause 14

New Clause 14 – add the following new clause:

14 Evaluation of conformity

14.1 General

The compliance of tubes or fittings with the requirements of this document and with the stated values
(including classes) shall be demonstrated by:
  initial type testing (ITT);

  factory production control (FPC).

14.2 Initial type testing

14.2.1 General
ITT is the complete set of tests or other procedures described in the technical specification, determining the
performance of samples of products representative of the steel tube and fitting designs. Initial type testing
shall be performed to show conformity with this document on first use of this document for non-alloy steel
tubes or fittings being put onto the market and:

  at the beginning of the production of a new or modified steel tube or fitting design or change to the raw
material;

  at the beginning of a new or modified method of production.

In the case of type testing on steel tubes or fittings for which initial type testing in accordance with this
document was already performed, type testing may be reduced:

  if it has been established that the performance characteristics compared with the already tested steel
tubes and fittings have not been affected or;

  if historical data is available (see 14.2.4).

The results of all type tests shall be recorded and stored for at least 5 years.

14.2.2 Characteristics

 All characteristics in Clause 7, for which the manufacturer is stating a value, shall be subject to ITT by tests
and/or calculation and/or tabulated values in accordance with the relevant subclasses of Clause 7, with the
exception of ‘Release of dangerous substances’. This may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of
the substance concerned, providing the manufacturer is able to demonstrate the content, or lack, of the
identified substance(s) and that the manufacturing process does not increase the level of any established
substance(s).

14.2.3 Product families

For the purposes of testing (including FPC testing) steel tubes or fittings may be grouped into families, where
it is considered that the results for a characteristic from any one product is common to all tubes or fittings
within that family.

7
EN 10224:2002/A1:2005 (E)

14.2.4 Use of historical data

Tests previously performed on the same steel tube or fitt ing design in accordance with the provisions of this
document (same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.)
may be taken into account.

14.2.5 ‘Deemed to satisfy’ provisions and use of reference tabulated data

In those cases where conformity with this document is based on ‘deemed to s atisfy’ provisions or tabulated
values, type testing shall be limited to the verification of whether the steel tube or fitt ing meets the
requirements to use those values, classes or levels, unless better values, classes or levels are being claimed.

14.2.6 Sampling

ITT shall be performed on samples of non-alloy steel tubes and fittings representative of the manufactured
types in accordance with Table 16. The frequency of testing or assessment shall be in accordance with
Clause 8.4.
