The systems of attestation of conformity specified by the European Commission in mandate Construct 98/213/EC, Annex 3 as amended, are as follows:

System 1 for partitions - with Euroclasses A1*, A2*, B* or, C* concerning Reaction to fire, and for materials for

which a clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification

System 3 for partitions

- with Euroclasses A1**, A2** , B**, C**, D, E concerning Reaction to fire, and for

materials not covered by system 1 - with any Fire resistance class - for uses subject to regulations on dangerous substances - with Safety in use category IV

System 4 for all other partitions, including partitions with Reaction to fire classes A1*** (without testing according to EC Decision 96/603/EC) to E*** and F. * Products/materials for which a clearly identified stage in the production, results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification; (e.g. an addition of fire retardants or a limiting of organic material). ** Products/materials not covered by footnote (*) *** Products/materials of class A1 that according to Decision 96/603/EC, amended by EC Decision 2000/605/EC, do not require to be tested for reaction to fire.

5.2. Recommendations for uses, maintenance and repair

5.2.1. Maintenance :

The ETA Holder recommends cleaning the partition according to the following specifications:

Under the normal conditions, it is enough, for the maintenance in a state of cleanliness of the interior elements, periodically to wipe them by means of a clean rag.

The partitions which were not cleaned during a prolonged lapse of time can be cleaned with soapy water, then rinsed with cold water. One finishes by a cleaning with a soft rag. The use of water and neutral liquid detergents is allowed.

Never not to use grittings, liquid or powders some, usually used for copper or unwrought aluminium.

The coating aluminium surfaces are simply washed with the water added with 1 % of Teepol and are rinsed with clear water.
