Market surveillance authorities intensified activities – WPK audits gain in importance
As part of the EEPLIANT4 project, the European market surveillance authorities are currently stepping up their checks on solid fuel fireplaces and pellet stoves. In addition to the ecodesign requirements, the focus is particularly on EN 16510, including detailed on-site inspections during production.
The focus is on:
- Technical documentation, CE declaration and data plate
- Declarations of Performance (DoP) and instructions
- Type test reports and AoP
- Complete evidence of factory production control (FPC)
- Practical implementation of FPC in the ongoing manufacturing process
The new, comprehensive insights into production processes are increasingly revealing gaps in documentation, evidence and consistency of information.
