For product type determination tests, the control activities of the certification body for products included in system 3 are limited to the following features. The producer is responsible for the application of other tests given in the ZA.1 table.
1) Thermal resistance
2) Release of dangerous substances
3) Compressive strength (for load bearing applications)
4) Water permeability
In addition, for products used where regulations regarding behaviour against fire are in question, third party verification is applied in addition to the fire reaction classes of the materials. In our country, the " Turkey’s Regulation on Fire Protection" for fire safety in construction works was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. In addition to the basic features mentioned above, the reaction to fire class of the materials should also be addressed by the notified body.
