AVCP (Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance)

Harmonised product standards include Annex ZA, which sets out all the minimum requirements for demonstrating compliance with the relevant standard, namely the Initial Type Testing (ITT) to be carried out and the applicable Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) system(s) established for that specific product and its intended use.

The respective responsibilities for carrying out the above-mentioned ITT and FPC (Factory Production Control) activities are therefore clearly defined.

The systems for attestation of conformity provided for under the Construction Products Directive are:
