Changes to the production ETA 13/0373 page 5 of 27

7 process of the kit or to the components of the kit which could result in deposited information/data being incorrect, shall be notified to ITC-CNR before they are introduced and ITC-CNR will assess whether or not such changes affect the ETA and, if so, whether further assessment and/or alteration to the ETA shall be necessary 7. The characteristics of the components and of the system not mentioned in this ETA nor in the Annexes shall correspond to the respective values laid down in the Technical Documentation of this ETA, checked by ITC-CNR. 2.2 Methods of verification The identification tests and the assessment of fitness for the intended use of Pixima Ring, Pixima Ring Line, Pixima Cube, Pixima Cube Line, Arkè Klan, Arkè Kloè, Arkè Phoenix, Magia 70, Magia 70.Xtra, Reflex Lux T Tonda, Reflex Titan T Tonda, Reflex Lux Q Quadra, Reflex Titan Q Quadra, Genius 010 T tonda, Genius 020 T tonda, Genius 030 T tonda, Genius 050 T tonda, Genius 060 T tonda, Genius 010 Q Quadra, Genius 020 Q Quadra, Genius 030 Q Quadra, Genius 050 Q Quadra, Genius 060 Q Quadra, Oak 70, Gus 010, Gus 020, Rex, Nice 1, "Ago", "Nice Line" were carried out in compliance with ETAG Essential Requirement 1: MECHANICAL RESISTANCE AND STABILITY The staircase corresponds to the drawings and data contained in the annexes. The material values, dimensions and tolerances of the components of the stair not indicated in the annexes shall correspond to the values laid down in the technical documentation. The staircase has a sufficient mechanical resistance and stability in order to resist static or quasi-static loads. The characteristic values of resistance of the staircase given in Annex 15 were determined from loading tests and by structural analysis. Prevention of progressive collapse Failure of individual components of the staircase does not lead to a progressive collapse of the complete staircase. Residual load-bearing capacity The steps loaded by service loads stated in Annex 15 have a sufficient residual load-bearing capacity. A local material failure does not lead to an abrupt total loss of load-bearing capacity of the steps. Long-term behavior Under appropriate use and maintenance conditions, the characteristic values of resistance stated in Annex 15 will be ensured over the indicated working life. Resistance to earthquakes No Performance Determined (NPD). Load/displacement behavior and vibration behavior The characteristic values concerning the load/displacement behaviour were determined by test and are given in Table 1. The vibration behaviour was determined by test. Under a single load of 1 kn acting on the most unfavourable point the staircase shows a deflection of w 5 mm. The first natural frequency of the staircase (inclusive of a single mass of 100 kg) is greater than 5 Hz. 7 The ETA Holder may change, under his own responsibility, some of the suppliers of a component, but only provided that the characteristics and the performances of the new components and the final performances of the system do not change at all. These changes must be fully recorded within the Factory Production Control documents in order to grant full traceability. ETA 13/0373 page 6 of 27

11 - has specified through contracts with his suppliers the awaited characteristics, the controls and frequencies, and - he carries out controls on such components by himself. The control plan and the provisions taken by the ETA Holder for components not produced by himself have been agreed with the Approval Body and deposited with ITC-CNR where it is only made available to the Notified Body involved in the Conformity attestation procedure. Such control plan will be given to the Notified Body chosen by the ETA Holder to perform the duties laid down in the attestation of conformity. The manufacturer only uses raw materials supplied with the relevant inspection documents as laid down in the control plan. The incoming raw materials are subject to verifications by the manufacturer before acceptance. All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer are documented in a systematic manner in the form of written processes and procedures. This production control system ensures that Pixima Ring, Pixima Ring Line, Pixima Cube, Pixima Cube Line, Arkè Klan, Arkè Kloè, Arkè Phoenix, Magia 70, Magia 70.Xtra, Reflex Lux T Tonda, Reflex Titan T Tonda, Reflex Lux Q Quadra, Reflex Titan Q Quadra, Genius 010 T tonda, Genius 020 T tonda, Genius 030 T tonda, Genius 050 T tonda, Genius 060 T tonda, Genius 010 Q Quadra, Genius 020 Q Quadra, Genius 030 Q Quadra, Genius 050 Q Quadra, Genius 060 Q Quadra, Oak 70, Gus 010, Gus 020, Rex, Nice 1, "Ago", "Nice Line" and their components are in conformity with this European Technical Approval. The results of Factory Production Control are recorded and evaluated. The records include, among the others, the following information: - designation of the product, raw materials and components; - type of control or testing; - date of the product s manufacture and date of testing of the product or raw materials and components; - results of controls and testing and, if appropriate, comparison with requirements; - signature of the person responsible for Factory Production Control. The records shall be presented to the inspection body during the continuous surveillance. They shall be presented to ITC-CNR on request. Details of the extent, nature and frequency of testing and controls to be performed within the Factory Production Control shall correspond to the control plan which is part of the technical documentation of this European Technical Approval Tasks of the Notified Bodies Initial inspection of factory and Factory Production Control The Notified Body shall ascertain that, in accordance with the control plan, the factory, in particular the staff and equipment, and the Factory Production Control are suitable to ensure a continuous and orderly manufacturing of the components according to the specifications given in clause 2 of this ETA Continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control The Notified Body shall visit the factory at least once a year for surveillance purposes. It shall be verified that the system of Factory Production Control and the specified manufacturing process are maintained taking into account the deposited control plan. Continuous surveillance and assessment of Factory Production Control have to be performed in accordance with the control plan. During each visit, the Notified Body shall use an ad-hoc checklist and shall examine, among the others: - the control registers of raw materials, products in course of manufacture and finished products, - the documents attesting the application of the control frequencies.
