According to chapter VII art.39 of the Construction Product Regulations (by the EU), the consistency of construction products regarding the consistency of performance must be tested and assessed by notified bodies. Under the terms of the Commission delegated regulation (EU) no568/2014, these bodies are:
• Product certification bodies for the assessment and verifications of the systems 1+ and 1
• Factory production control certifications bodies for the system 2+
The establishment of the evaluation system is based on mandates from the EU Commission in the respective harmonized European standard or European Technical Assessment (ETA). Based on its accreditations as a certification body according to EN ISO 17065, TVFA-ZERT is notified by BMAW as an authorized body. TVFA-ZERT certification body is thus authorized to issue certificates of performance for construction products (Systems 1+ and 1) or the conformity of factory production control (System 2+). Manufacturers may affix the CE marking to their products based on a corresponding Declaration of Performance once the relevant certificates for these products are available. The scope of notification can be viewed through the NANDO-database.
