We have been approved by Škoda Praha Invest s.r.o. as an eligible supplier in the commodity production and supply of building chemistry products.

Thank you and we will strive to maintain this standard.

We would like to assure our customers that even after 1.7.2013 it is fully compliant with the legal framework to supply a so-called Declaration of Conformity / EC-declaration with the product. The date of placing the product on the EU market is decisive.

Products which present a higher degree of risk to a legitimate interest and for which a conformity assessment must therefore be carried out.

The list of specified products is given in the Government Regulation 190/2002 Coll. as amended (products for which there is a harmonised standard) and in the Government Regulation 163/2002 Coll. as amended by 312/2005 Coll. (products for which there is no harmonised standard).

All products placed on the market must be safe (Act 102/2001 Coll.). They are covered by one or more of the government regulations relevant to Act No 22/1997 Coll. 22/1997 Coll.

= conformity assessment

The process of demonstrating that a product meets the requirements of the relevant standard and has the declared characteristics.

The requirements for the conformity assessment process vary from product to product. There is a wide range of procedures. For some products the process is entirely under the control of the manufacturer, without the supervision of the certification body (the least stringent procedure), for other products the process is entirely under the control of the certification body (the most stringent procedure). The conformity assessment procedure is specified in the standard that applies to the product, for concrete rehabilitation materials this is the relevant part of EN 1504.

Declaration of conformity is a written assurance of the manufacturer or importer that the product meets the requirements of technical regulations valid in the Czech Republic and that the prescribed procedure for conformity assessment has been followed (see separate entry).

When placing a product on the market under the European system (done if there is a harmonised standard for the product), the manufacturer issues an "EC Declaration of Conformity", or "European Declaration of Conformity"; when placing a product under the national system (done if there is no harmonised standard for the product, but there is a specified standard), the manufacturer issues a "Declaration of Conformity".

It defines the technical characteristics of the products in relation to the basic requirements for buildings according to the role the products are to fulfil in the building.

Issued by an authorised person (certification body)

It is issued for a product for which there are no harmonised or designated standards. The STO replaces the missing standard

It may also be requested for a product whose manufacturer (importer) does not wish to follow the applicable harmonised or specified standards when placing it on the market.

A symbol indicating that the product meets the requirements of the harmonised European standard that applies to the product. It shall appear on products for which the manufacturer has issued an EC declaration of conformity.

Only European Standards (EN) can be harmonised.

The harmonised standard defines product requirements in a uniform way for the whole of the European Union.

A standard becomes harmonised by publication of a reference to it in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEU). This fact is subsequently communicated in the Czech Republic in the UNMZ Journal.

Compliance with the harmonised standard, to the extent of its content, is considered to be compliance with the requirements of Government Regulation 190/2002 Coll., as amended

If the product is covered by a harmonised standard, it is placed on the market in accordance with Government Regulation 190/2002 Coll. as amended (the so-called European system). If the product is not covered by any harmonised standard, it shall be placed on the market in accordance with Government Regulation 163/2002 Coll. as amended by 312/2005 Coll. (the so-called national system).

For example, the remediation standards EN 1504-2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and -7 are harmonised.

National equivalent of the harmonised standard.

Material Safety Data Sheet

A set of information (safety, environmental, toxicological, legal...) for the management of hazardous substances/preparations. In Europe and many other countries, such sheets must be provided by the person placing the substance/preparation on the market (importer or manufacturer).

It must be issued for substances or preparations that contain hazardous constituents in excess of the legal limit. However, BLs are usually made for other products so that the purchaser of these products is also informed that the product is not classified as hazardous.

The form of the safety data sheet is prescribed quite precisely in EU Regulation 1907/2006 (REACH), which is 278 pages long.
