scope:

Specifies the requirements on factory production control (FPC) with which manufacturers of road marking materials should comply, when their products have to bear the EC conformity marking. Also gives guide for the manufacturer and the certification bodies involved with the factory production control of road marking materials. It specifies which types of test have to be taken into consideration within the FPC but, as usual in third-party assessment and surveillance of quality systems, it leaves the precise methods to be applied to be dependent on the characteristics of the manufacturer's installation and production methods. The precise parameters and methods will be found in the written procedures agreed between the manufacturer and the third party responsible for the initial assessment of the FPC.
