SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGULATION
Scope of the Regulation
The regulation covers the rules to be applied to building materials in terms of basic requirements for construction works. Building Materials: All materials produced for permanent use in all construction works, including buildings and other structural engineering works. Some examples of building materials:
Prefabricated concrete products
Doors, windows and components
Membranes
Thermal insulation elements
Gypsum-based products
• Floor textiles
Masonry related products
Plumbing materials
Wooden materials and auxiliary materials used in buildings
Construction lime and hydraulic binders
• Waste Water Related Products
• Concrete, mortar, plaster and related products
• Products used in road construction
Adhesives used in construction works
Roof coverings, lightings, windows and auxiliary materials
• Flooring
• Fire alarm, response and fire and smoke control and prevention equipment
Space heating applications
Legal Status:
Since 27 June 1991, the Construction Products Directive 89/106 / EC has become mandatory in the Member States. September 8, 2002 in Building Materials Regulations in Turkey (89/106 / EC) was published and have become as essential.
Conformity Assessment in Building Materials: Harmonized standards or European Technical Approval Guidelines must be in force in order to be CE marked on an equipment covered by the Construction Materials Regulation. CE marking cannot be made even if a product is a building material without harmonized standards and ATOK. In the Construction Materials Regulation, all conformity assessment systems according to product groups are defined by Council Decisions. 4 Systems Are Defined In The Building Materials Regulation. In these systems, the duties of the Manufacturer and Notified Bodies are defined separately.
Conformity Assessment Procedures
(a) First type testing of the product by the notified body or manufacturer;
(b) Testing samples taken from the factory according to the test plan specified in advance by the notified body or manufacturer;
(c) Inspection-testing of samples taken from the factory, on the market or from the construction site by the notified body or manufacturer;
(d) Testing of samples taken from the batch that has been kept ready to be sent by the notified body or manufacturer;
(e) Providing Factory Production Control by the manufacturer;
(f) Initial audit of factory and factory production control by the notified body;
(g) Continuous surveillance, auditing and questioning of factory production control by a notified body
Initial Type Tests: Performing all tests defined in technical documents. These tests do not evaluate the suitability of the product for use. It shows the comparison of product performance with the features described in technical documents.
Factory Production Control (FÜK): It is the continuous internal production control applied by the producer. It is the assurance by the manufacturer that the Building Materials are produced in accordance with the technical documents. It is the documentation of all conditions and requirements adopted by the manufacturer in the form of procedures and policies. This documentation shows how quality is ensured, product features are ensured and operations are controlled.
Test-Inspection of Samples: It is the test-inspection of samples taken from the Construction Site, Factory Area or Sales Centers by the Notified Body or Manufacturer for product conformity certification (Sample System 1+). The sample test-inspection is tested according to the first type test and compliance with the declared requirements is examined.
The Building Materials must meet the Basic Health and Safety Requirements included in Annex I of the Regulation.
These are:
1. Mechanical Strength and Balance
2. Fire Safety
3. Hygiene, Health and Environment
4. Usage Safety
5. Protection from Noise
6.Energy Saving and Heat Retention
