Linkz compliance with the requirements for CPR:
Since late 2016 Linkz has been working diligently to classify its product offerings in support of our International client base accessing the European Market. Classification has been completed in line with the Assessment and verification of constancy of performance - AVCP requirements laid down within EN 50575. This process is a mandatory requirement which must be completed before products released to the market can be CE marked and supported by a Declaration of Performance – DoP.
Table 2 describes the AVCP systems which must to be adhered with before a classification can be formalised.
Table 2
| Product | Intended use | Levels or classes of performance | AVCP system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power, control and communication cables | Power, control and communication cables | Aca , B1ca , B2ca, Cca, | 1+ |
| Dca, Eca, | 3 | ||
| Fca | 4 |
The AVCP – System 1+ represents the most exacting requirements and is reserved for cables realising either a Euroclass CCA or B2CA performance. The Factory Production Control – FPC process under System 1+ demands specific design controls and management system requirements that are audited at least annually. System 1+ also requires periodic sampling and testing of product both by the manufacturer and the Notified Body to assure that the Euroclass performance requirements are maintained.
After successfully completing the System 1+ FPC audit in May of 2017 Linkz International has completed the testing and assessment for a range of its cables within the Euroclass CCA and B2CA performance classes.
