DIN EN 16236:2015-07

This European Standard has been written as the system for the Assessment and Verification of the Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of aggregates. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the aggregate product standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383-1 and EN 13450 and is called up by these standards. This European Standard and the corresponding product standards have been written under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). AVCP comprises Type Testing (TT) and Factory Production Control (FPC). This standard has been compiled from the TT and FPC clauses, annexes and tables previously found in the aggregate product standards. A new, separate AVCP standard is currently in preparation, which will provide more detailed TT procedures and clear, detailed requirements for product conformity (e. g. statistical conformity criteria, number of samples, tolerances, time limits of validity etc). The type testing and factory production control procedures are designed to be applied to European Standards for aggregates. When the appropriate 'conformity' clauses are applied, it forms part of the system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance as required by the Construction Products Regulation. It provides the minimum requirements for TT and FPC for CE Marking.
