PD CEN/TR 14245 specifies the scheme for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) of cement, including certification of constancy of performance.
PD CEN/TR 14245 provides technical rules for factory production control, further testing of samples taken at the manufacturing plant (auto control testing) and assessment of the performance of the cement, initial inspection of the manufacturing plant and of factory production control, continuing surveillance, assessment and evaluation of factory production control and audit-testing of samples.
PD CEN/TR 14245 also provides rules for actions to be followed in the event of non-conformity and requirements for depots.
PD CEN/TR 14245 on AVCP of cement is useful for:
The certification of constancy of performance is a document issued under the rules of the scheme for the AVCP indicating that adequate confidence is provided that the cement conforms to the performance(s) declared in accordance with the relevant product standard.
PD CEN/TR 14245 provides the general requirements for factory production control which means the permanent internal control of cement production that consists of internal quality control complemented by auto control testing of samples of cement.
PD CEN/TR 14245 gives the procedure for certification of constancy of performance of cement which gives information regarding the works' quality, quality management system and internal quality control. PD CEN/TR 14245 also gives the assessment of the performance of the cement during the initial period of the cement.
Overall, PD CEN/TR 14245 guides you in the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of cement and if it is deemed satisfactory, the certificate of constancy of performance of the product remains valid.
