Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 191 "Fixed fire fighting systems", the secretariat of which is held by BSI national standard body.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by month of December 2002.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard.

9 Evaluation of conformity 9.1 General
The compliance of a wet alarm valve assembly with the requirements of this standard shall be demonstrated by:
- initial type testing;
- factory production control by the manufacturer.
9.2 Initial type testing
Initial type testing shall be performed on first application of this standard. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (product, characteristic, test method, sampling method and system of attestation of conformity etc.) may be taken into account. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a product type or at the beginning of a new method of production (where these may affect the stated properties).
All characteristics given in clause 4, and where appropriate clause 5, shall be subject to initial type testing.
9.3 Factory production control (FPC)
The supplier shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics.
The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product. It shall be sufficiently detailed to ensure that the conformity of the product is apparent, ensuring detection of irregularities at the earliest possible stage.
An FPC system conforming with the requirements of the relevant part(s) of EN ISO 9000, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, shall be considered to satisfy the above requirements.
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.
The production control procedure shall be recorded in a manual, which shall be made available when requested.
The supplier shall carry out and record the results of production tests as part of the production control. These records shall be available if requested.
Leakage resistance, alarm and sensitivity characteristic tests, shall be carried out on each dry alarm valve assembly.
