Also known as

Commission Decision 2011/246/EU of 18 April 2011 amends Annex III to Decision 1999/93/EC, which governs attestation of conformity procedures for construction products under Council Directive 89/106/EEC, specifically for doors, windows, shutters, blinds, gates, and related building hardware. The amendment revises the systems of attestation of conformity by introducing differentiated conformity systems (Systems 1, 3, and 4) based on intended use, distinguishing between products used for fire/smoke compartmentation or escape routes (System 1), products with other declared specific uses such as noise, energy, tightness, or safety-in-use (System 3), and products for internal communication only or shutters/blinds for external use (System 4). The legal basis for the amendment is Article 13(4) of Directive 89/106/EEC, and the Decision is addressed to the Member States.AI
