1 Introduction
This CEN Technical Report has been developed by CEN TC 125 and is aimed at providing guidance
regarding factory production control (FPC) for designed masonry mortars (conformity system 2+).
For prescribed masonry mortar, plaster and rendering mortar (conformity system 4) there is no
requirement for involvement by Notified Bodies (NBs). Manufacturers of prescribed masonry mortars
can use the guidance given in this document as a basis for establishing suitable factory production
control procedures to enable demonstration of conformity with the standard and the declared values.
The aim of this Guidance is to assist manufacturers in their work leading to CE marking of designed
mortars.
The guidance consists of
 A general elaboration of Clause 8.3, factory production control, which is common to all the FPC
references for the work of Notified Bodies and manufacturers to be found in Annex ZA, and
 An inspection scheme containing specific checklists for designed masonry mortar, which is to be
considered informative.
NOTE This guidance document can be used for the evaluation of factory production control of other types of
mortar that are produced in the same factory.

2 Specifications
2.1 General
These specifications are for the elaboration of FPC according to the instructions in Table ZA.3 in
EN 998-2/ Annex ZA, which refer to Clause 8.3 - Factory Production Control.
Manufacturers having a factory production control system which complies with EN ISO 9001:2000 and
which addresses the requirements of the harmonised standard EN 998-2, are recognised as satisfying
the FPC requirements of the Directive.
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a factory production control system to
enable continuing conformity with the standard and the declared values of the products placed on the
market.
The responsibility, authority and interrelation of all personnel who manage, perform and verify work
affecting the quality of designed masonry mortar products shall be defined in the documentation of the
factory production control system and keep effective.
The factory production control system shall describe the procedure of production, the regular
inspections by the manufacturer and the testing. Controls and tests should address the characteristics
of raw materials and finished products, as well as the production procedures, the production
equipment or machines, the test equipment and the marking of the product.
All the test results shall be recorded.
Actions to be taken when the control test values or criteria do not meet those specified shall be
documented by the manufacturer.
The conformity of the product shall be determined by testing according to the requirements of the
harmonized standard EN 998-2 and correlated to the values and parameters stated in the factory
production control manual.
2.2 Process control
2.2.1 Incoming raw materials
As appropriate, the manufacturer shall define the acceptance criteria of raw materials, and the
procedures operated to ensure that these are met.
Manufacturer’s inspection scheme for raw materials is given in Table 1.
2.2.2 Production process
The relevant features of the production processes shall be defined giving the frequency of the
manufacturer’s inspection checks, together with the required criteria and the required in-progress
product characteristics. Actions to be taken when the criteria or the product characteristics are not
achieved shall be specified by the manufacturer within the FPC documentation.
All production equipment that has an influence on the declared values shall be controlled and
regularly inspected according to the documented procedures, frequencies and criteria.
Manufacturer’s inspection schemes for production equipment are given in Table 2.

2.3 Finished product conformity
2.3.1 Tests on the finished product
The factory production control system shall incorporate a sampling plan and which shall respect the
required frequency of testing of the finished product. The results of testing shall be recorded.
The sample shall be representative of the production.
The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the methods described in the EN 998-2, if given, and
with the agreed FPC documentation.
Alternative methods of test to the reference methods specified in the standard may be adopted,
except for initial type testing and in case of dispute, provided that these alternative methods satisfy
the following:
a) A relationship can be shown to exist between the results from the reference test and those from
the alternative test, and
b) The information on which the relationship is based is available.
The results of testing shall meet the specified compliance criteria and shall be recorded.
For production evaluation the manufacturer could define the conformity criteria in the FPC
documentation. The conformity of the production may be evaluated in a number of ways including
acceptance by variables, assessment by attributes or assessment based on individual results. One
method of satisfying this for production processes is to use the approach given in ISO 12491.
Manufacturer’s inspection scheme for finished product testing is given in Table 3.
The frequency of testing given in the inspection scheme may be reduced where it may be shown that
the required compliance values are consistently achieved. Thus where a higher level of consistency is
achieved, a lower level of testing may be adopted.
2.3.2 Test equipment
All weighing, measuring and testing equipment that has an influence on the declared values shall be
calibrated and regularly inspected according to the documented procedures and frequencies, as
stated in the factory production control manual.
Manufacturer’s inspection schemes and the calibration criteria for equipment are given in Table 4.
2.4 Statistical techniques
Where and when possible and applicable, the results of inspections and testing shall be interpreted by
means of statistical techniques, by attributes or by variables, to verify the product characteristics and
to determine if the production conforms with the compliance criteria and the product conforms with the
declared values.
2.5 Traceability – marking and stock control of products
The marking and stock control shall be documented. Products should be identifiable and traceable
with regard to
