EN 12899-4:2007 (E)
4 System requirements
4.1 General
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the products
placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics. The FPC system shall
consist of written procedures (works manual), regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and
the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the
production process and the product. Records shall remain legible, readily identifiable and retrievable
and reviewed for effectiveness at least once per year which shall be recorded. This shall include testing
of samples in accordance with a prescribed test plan defined in this European Standard.
A FPC system conforming to the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the
requirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy the above requirements.
In each factory, the manufacturer may delegate action to a person having the necessary authority to:
a) monitor procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages;
b) identify and record any instance of nonconformity;
c) monitor procedures to correct instances of nonconformity.
All FPC systems shall achieve and maintain an adequate level of confidence that the product is in
conformity with the requirements of this European Standard.
The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action
taken. The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and
retained for the period specified in the manufacturer’s FPC procedures.
Components having the necessary performance levels already demonstrated (e.g. by conformity to an
appropriate European Standard or by CE marking in accordance with an appropriate ETA) may be
considered to have the declared performance levels and do not require any further testing for the
purposes of conformity with this European Standard, providing the component's performance is not
detrimentally affected by the manufacturing process when it is incorporated into the product.
In the case of new factories, new production lines or units, if the FPC system is temporarily unable to
meet requirements that apply for normal production, as specified in this standard, the provisions of
Table 1 shall apply to final quality testing. This shall continue until the FPC system is capable of
meeting the other requirements of this standard.
4.2 Production control system
4.2.1 The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow
the product performances to conform to the declared values, demonstrated by initial type testing.
The production control system shall at least include the necessary procedures for the:
a) relevant constituents;
b) controls and tests to be carried out during manufacture;
c) verifications and tests carried out on finished products in accordance with the test regime
specified in Clause 5;
d) control of the necessary installations, equipment and trained personnel to execute the tests on
the raw materials, the tests during production and the final quality control tests as specified in
Clause 5;

2009-06-05

EN 12899-4:2007 (E)
e) operation maintenance and calibration of appropriate testing and manufacturing equipment by

qualified personnel.
NOTE 1 This does not preclude the manufacturer from concluding a sub-contracting agreement with one or
more organizations or persons having the necessary skills and equipment in order to perform the above tasks.
The test methods to be applied and the tolerances for the results of all the tests used shall be
documented in the FPC system.
The minimum frequency of testing shall be in accordance with the test plan of the manufacturer, or as
specified in Table 1, whichever is the more rigorous.
NOTE 2 These methods would normally be direct methods. In the case of certain characteristics, indirect test
methods could be appropriate if a relationship can be established between the specific characteristic (the one to
be verified) and another characteristic which is more practicable to measure such that conformity to this standard
is demonstrated.
Samples that have been subjected to destructive testing cannot be used. Other samples may be
returned to the production line.

4.2.2 Statistical conformity control
If a manufacturer wishes to use statistical conformity control, the following shall apply.
The numbers in Table 2 shall be taken as a basis and the recommended starting point. The use of
analytical quality assurance techniques such as statistical process control is recommended to
reassess sample size and sample frequency on an ongoing basis using historical test results.
Statistical conformity control shall be applied in accordance with methodology described in ISO 2859.
4.3 Records
Records shall include everything that is necessary to demonstrate control of the raw materials and
components, the production process and the final product. Records shall be kept for at least the
manufacturer’s warranty period of the product, the period specified in the FPC or 5 years from the
date on which the product was placed upon the market, whichever is the greater.
The identification of the product tested, the date of sampling and testing, the test methods performed,
the test results, date of manufacture and acceptance criteria shall be entered in a register under the
signature of the person responsible for the control and who carried out the verification.
The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action
taken. In case of nonconformity, the corrective actions taken to rectify the situation shall be recorded in
the register.
4.4 Treatment of nonconforming products
If control or test results show that the product does not meet the requirements, the necessary corrective
action shall be taken in sufficient time to prevent defective products being released into the market.
Products (or batches) not conforming shall be quarantined and properly identified. Once the
nonconformity has been corrected the product shall be re-tested. If it is not practicable to correct the fault
the product shall be rejected unless the customer accepts it in a repaired or uncorrected form. The
customer’s acceptance shall be verified in writing.
For any product delivered before the test results are available, a procedure and record shall be
maintained for notifying customers. A recall procedure shall be provided for any product which is found
not to be in conformity with the harmonized part of the respective European Standard.
4.5 Traceability and marking
The manufacturer shall establish and maintain documented procedures for identifying the product or
the constituent by suitable means during all stages of production. The manufacturer shall establish
documented procedures for unique identification of individual product or batches. This identification
shall be recorded. The manufacturer shall have procedures ensuring that processes related to

2009-06-05
12
EN 12899-4:2007 (E)
affixing traceability codes and/or markings are inspected regularly. Conformity to EN ISO 9001:2000,
7.5.3 shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subclause.
4.6 Personnel
The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or
verifies work affecting product conformity, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that
need to initiate actions preventing product nonconformity from occurring, actions in the case of
nonconformity and to identify and register product conformity problems. Personnel performing work
affecting product conformity shall be competent based on appropriate education, training, skills and
experience for which records shall be maintained.
This subclause shall also apply when certain tasks are subcontracted.
4.7 Equipment
All weighing, measuring and testing equipment necessary to achieve, or produce evidence of,
conformity shall be calibrated or verified and regularly inspected according to documented procedures,
frequencies and criteria. Control of monitoring and measuring devices shall conform to the
appropriate clause of EN ISO 9001.
NOTE The manufacturer may arrange sub-contracting agreements with one or more organizations or
persons having the necessary skills and equipment in order to perform the necessary tasks, provided the above
subclause is followed.
All equipment used in the manufacturing process shall be regularly inspected and maintained to
ensure use, wear or failure does not cause inconsistency in the manufacturing process.
Inspections and maintenance shall be carried out and recorded in accordance with the manufacturer’s
written procedures and the records retained for the period defined in the manufacturer's FPC
procedures.
4.8 Design process
The factory production control system shall document the various stages in the design of the products,
identify the checking procedure and those individuals responsible for all stages of design.
During the design process itself, a record shall be kept of all checks, their results, and any corrective
actions taken. This record shall be sufficiently detailed and accurate to demonstrate that all stages of
the design phase, and all checks, have been carried out satisfactorily. Conformity to
EN ISO 9001:2000, 7.3 shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subclause.
4.9 Raw materials and components
The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, as well as the
inspection scheme for ensuring their conformity. The verification of conformity of the raw material with
the specification shall be in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000, 7.4.3.
Raw materials and components shall have the same performance characteristics as those used for
initial type testing. In the FPC system, the manufacturer shall define procedures for the verification of
raw materials and components from suppliers with a less rigorous FPC system. If this is not the case,
the inspection scheme should be raised to obtain that level. In the event that supplied kit components
are used, the attestation of conformity level for components should at least coincide with that of the kit.
If this is not the case, the inspection scheme should be raised to obtain that level.
