DECLARATION
State Commission on the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology
of 8 July 1964
on compulsory testing and control of products and materials intended for areas with difficult climatic conditions.
The State Commission on the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology provides pursuant to Section 8 of Act No. 17 / 1962 Coll., on the establishment of the State Commission on the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology:
Preliminary provisions
The increasing exports of Czechoslovak products to areas with difficult climatic conditions require that the method of testing, control and labelling of products fully complies with the requirements laid down for them.
Testing, approval and labelling of products
(1) Products and materials produced in serial or repeated form (hereinafter referred to as "products") are only allowed to be produced and supplied to areas with difficult climatic conditions if they are tested and approved by the appropriate climate-based test laboratory (hereinafter referred to as "test room") and marked with a climate resistance control mark. For unique and large products, a climate resilience certificate shall be issued for these purposes. The manufacturer and the foreign trade undertaking shall be responsible for fulfilling these obligations.
(2) The technical service shall verify the climate resilience of the product in accordance with the technical standard or, where the technical standard is not issued, the technical specifications agreed between the manufacturer and the customer. These specifications shall be approved by the appropriate service.
Tests
(1) The approval of the products in terms of climate resilience is carried out by the testing rooms designated by the State Commission for the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology. Their list and any changes shall be published in the Bulletin of the Office for Standardisation and Measurement.
(2) The tests shall be authorised to entrust production undertakings or other organisations duly equipped in agreement with them. The approval of the products and the granting of a climate resistance control mark shall be reserved for the designated services of the relevant field.
(3) A panel of experts, which is their advisory body, shall be set up at the examination offices. In its work it shall be governed by a statute which shall be approved by the authority responsible for the examination.
(4) The experts shall be entitled to request the participation and expression of experts from other fields as appropriate.
Applications for product approval
(1) The manufacturer shall request the verification of the climatic resistance of the product from the relevant service. The application shall specify:
(a) the precise description and description of the product (type, nominal values, technical data, etc.) with an indication of the area and category of location for which the product is intended;
(b) Czechoslovak state and other technical standards and, where appropriate, technical specifications approved by the customer and by the examination body according to which the product is to be manufactured and tested and its climate resilience assessed;
(c) the designation of the manufacturing undertaking and plant;
(d) the authority responsible for the production undertaking,
(e) authorities authorising the introduction of the product into production;
(f) the name of the head of technical inspection at the manufacturing undertaking or establishment.
(2) The manufacturer shall attach to the application for product approval the technical documentation to the extent agreed with the relevant technical service and the certificate of the technical inspection manager that the product complies with the production documents, regulations and technical standards for climate-resistant design. If there is a service in the plant, the registration or record of the examination shall be attached by that service.
(3) At the same time as the application, the manufacturer shall submit to the testing authority samples of the products in the number specified by the relevant technical standard or agreed technical specification (Section 2 (2)). Otherwise, their number and, where appropriate, the location of the examination, shall be determined by the manufacturer, taking into account the size of the product, the extent of the series produced, the number of products used on the installation and its importance. For climate tests, the manufacturer shall submit the most complex representative of the type series. According to the result of the climate tests, the service decides to approve the other products of the series without further examination. Samples of products shall be marked in such a way that they cannot be confused. The laboratory shall not provide compensation for the samples submitted.
(4) The manufacturer shall, on request, submit to the testing authority a record of the performance of the tests in fields which are not in the service of the test room if such tests are necessary to assess the overall quality of the products.
(5) The manufacturer must decide on the product within the time limit agreed with the manufacturer.
Performance of climate resilience and product approval tests
(1) The basis for the approval of products intended for areas with difficult climatic conditions shall be the result of the climate test and, where appropriate, the expert panel's opinion.
(2) The test shall examine the product and, where appropriate, have it tested in another organisation and shall inform the manufacturer of the result of the tests.
(3) For an approved product, the technical service shall assign a climate resistance control mark or, in particular justified cases, issue a certificate of climate resistance to the manufacturer instead of that marking. A report shall be made on the course and outcome of the tests. In specific cases, the Panel of Experts shall recommend the approval of the product and the allocation of the climate resilience control mark, or, where appropriate, the issue of a climate resilience certificate without testing, e.g. when products are large or unique.
(4) If the product fails to pass the test, the service shall draw up a report indicating the deficiencies which prevent the approval of the product and inform the manufacturer thereof. If the manufacturer submits to the test a product which failed the previous test shall indicate the modifications made.
(5) If, for serious reasons, it is not possible to ensure that the product complies with technical standards, it can only be approved if it has been granted an exemption from the obligations of technical standards.
(6) As a general rule, tests shall be carried out by three types of climate test:
(a) climate resistance type tests which are complementary to product type tests. They shall be carried out on samples intended for the relevant climate environment,
(b) random sampling checks. The purpose of these tests is to verify that the products conform to the approved sample,
(c) the information tests on climate resilience shall be carried out solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's verification of the model, part or part of the product submitted, in order to obtain the necessary values and, where appropriate, supporting documents for further modification or development of technical conditions, and shall not be compulsory.
(7) The tests shall regularly publish lists of products to which climate resilience control marks have been assigned or a climate resilience certificate issued.
Obligations of the manufacturer
(1) The manufacturer shall:
(a) deliver the product as a documentary sample to the technical service on request; This provision does not apply to unique and large products,
(b) send the technical documentation necessary for the assessment of the climatic resistance of the product to the testing laboratory (Section 4 (1) (b));
(c) notify the test authority in advance
1. prepare a design, technological or material change in product design;
2. permanent and temporary cessation or re-introduction of product production,
3. the transfer of production of the product to another plant of the same undertaking or to another undertaking.
(2) For the manufacture of the product in the modified version, if the change may affect the properties of the climatic resistance already approved by the product, a new approval of the test laboratory is required. In this case, the manufacturer shall send samples of the product to the testing laboratory in the modified version.
(3) If the production is transferred to another plant of the same undertaking, the plant shall send the product to the testing laboratory for testing.
(4) Where production is being transferred to another undertaking, the new manufacturer shall, before the start of the production, again apply for product approval and provide proof that the conditions for maintaining the quality of the products are given.
(5) If the manufacturer uses imported parts in more complex equipment, it is responsible for the required climate resilience of these parts.
Control
(1) The tests are authorised to carry out random checks on the conformity of the products with the approved sample. The manufacturer shall remove the defects detected without delay or within a time limit specified by the service.
(2) The personnel of the tests shall be entitled to enter the premises, warehouses and other premises of manufacturers and undertakings of foreign trade and to take samples of the products for inspection to the extent strictly necessary to carry out the inspection tests and to carry out, where appropriate, an on-the-spot expert assessment.
(3) Production organisations and foreign trade undertakings are obliged to allow operators to carry out random checks, in particular to provide them with the required documentation and to provide the necessary explanations.
(4) The laboratory shall, upon request, submit to the superior body of the production organisation and the foreign trade undertaking the entries and records of the conduct of the inspection test.
(5) The manufacturer's technical inspection worker may be instructed to take samples for the production control test.
(6) The production organisation and the foreign trade undertaking are required to submit to the testing centre free of charge products intended by the authorised official for inspection. The test laboratory shall keep a record of the products taken for testing.
(7) The manufacturer shall replace the foreign trade undertaking with products taken to test the climate resistance. The laboratory shall not be responsible for the degradation of the products by testing and shall return them in the state in which they are in post-examination if it does not need them as evidence.
(8) The result of the inspection test or expert assessment shall be communicated by the service provider to the production organisation and to the foreign trade undertaking. If the test laboratory finds that a gross defect has been tested, the authority shall also inform the manufacturer.
The testing centres are required to ensure that production organisations and foreign trade undertakings comply with the prescribed regulations, in particular with regard to testing, approval and labelling obligations. The identified defects shall be discussed with the organisation which has infringed those obligations and with the authority of its superior.
Compensation for climatic resistance tests
The testing of products shall be carried out at the rates set by the State Commission for the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology in agreement with the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the participating departments. As long as these rates are not fixed, the rules issued for each test room shall apply to refunds.
Climate resistance control mark
For approved products, a climate resistance check mark is assigned according to the Czechoslovak state standard. *)
Withdrawal of the control mark
The test shall remove the climate resistance control mark or the climate resistance certificate if the products do not conform to the approved sample.
Transitional and final provisions
(1) The State Commission on the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology in the Agreement with the participating central authorities may authorise an exemption from the provisions of this Decree.
(2) Products intended for areas with difficult climatic conditions which are already produced and do not yet have an assigned climate resistance control mark, or for which a climate resistance certificate has not yet been issued, must be notified to the manufacturer by 31 January 1965. The test room shall, in agreement with the manufacturer, set a time limit within which the manufacturer is required to submit the product for examination and, where appropriate, for expert assessment.
The control mark for products subject to difficult climatic conditions, referred to in point 2 of Annex 2 to Decree No. 83 / 1963 Coll., on compulsory testing and control of electrical products, materials and equipment, of the State Commission for the Development and Coordination of Science and Technology is hereby deleted.
This Decree shall take effect on 1 January 1965.
