Some days, your procrastination may barrier terminal blocks suppliers be telling you to Get A Life. If so, listen. Enjoy yourself. However talented you are and however important your work, you aren’t your writing. At least not entirely. Breaking up your day with physical activities, or anything very different from writing will give you a fresh perspective on your text. Plus, when this project is all over, you’ll want to have had a bit of sunshine from time to time, maybe a friendship or two.
Remember, not all bouts of delay are alike. Yours might carry a message. Take the time to listen, heed and respond to that message. Your writing—and your life—will be better for it.
Important news for brick floor manufacturers: starting
from the 1st of December, indeed, the CE marking for clay blocks
will be compulsory.
Important news for brick floor manufacturers: starting
from the 1st of December, indeed, the CE marking for clay blocks
will be compulsory.
The UNI EN 15037-3 regulation “Precast concrete
products - Beam-and-block floor systems -
Part 3: Clay blocks” has just been issued. The
regulation, which was issued on the
Official Journal of the European Union (C246/30, 24th August 2011) will bring
some important changes in the field of construction - and of precast concrete
products in particular - starting from the 1st of December 2012,
when the CE marking will become compulsory for all the clay blocks. The
application of the rule will be optional until
the 30th of November, but from December all the companies
will have to apply it.
In order to give a warranty of conformity to the rule,
the companies will need to have a certification. The certification system that
has been conceived includes initial type tests (ITT), the implementation of a
factory production control (FPC, which requires the intervention of a notified
body) and the planning of controls that will be periodically carried out and
that will be meant to assure the truthfulness of the characteristics that have
been declared. The manufacturers that got the certification in occasion of the
CE marking of masonry clay blocks (UNI EN 771-1 rule) will start a procedure that
will be very similar to the one they have already experimented.
In occasion of the release of the rule, ICMQ (the
leader certification body in the field of construction) and ANDIL (Italian
Association of Clay Manufacturers) have realized a guide about the
certification of the factory production control regarding the interposed
elements of brick for beam-and-block floor systems. Lorenzo Orsenigo,
director of ICMQ, has described the guide as a necessary tool for all the
manufactures working in this sector, who will have the chance to use this guide
to have clear information about the correct application of rules. Luigi Di
Carlantonio, president of ANDIL, has spoken positively about the issue of the
rule, describing the application of the regulation of beam-and-block floor
systems at European level as an important goal from the point of view of
reliability and structural performance.
Here are the peculiarities of the guide: this is a
vade mecum which has been especially conceived to show the requirements that
must be respected during the product and procedure tests. The guide also gives
some useful information about the frequency of tests and the peculiarities
required by the CE marking, and explores the possible problems that might rise
if you choose to outsource activities that have an influence on the product
quality. Last but not least, the guide also deals with some regulations that
manufactures might find useful until they get the CE marking. In particular,
the guide refers to the prescriptions deriving from the circular 617/09
regarding the technical standards for construction (DM 14/01/2008), which can
help manufactures in the identification of the parameters to declare to get the
certification.
