The Technical Regulations for Construction have introduced important changes to the ready mix concrete industry, among which must surely numbered also the scope of the certification of production process control system known as FPC - Factory Production Control.
Rules introduce an obligation for all plants producing ready-mixed concrete to have adequate procedures for controlling the production process.
The review must be certified by an independent third party and have certain characteristics in the order established and guaranteed by the Central Technical Services of the Superior Council of Public Works by a permit issued as a result of a decree of the Superior Council of Public Works.
FPC certification must be owned by each of ready-mixed concrete plant with industrialized process. According to the formal opinion given by the Board of Public Works on March 10, 2006, for concrete made with industrial process "means that produced by plants, structures and techniques in construction that is organized in a yard outside the plant itself."
Included in this series: •
concrete produced in fixed
• concrete produced in plants and factories in industrialized prefabrication (fixed) •
concrete produced in industrial plants installed in yards (temporary).
It should instead be subject to control of the production process in factory part of independent third parties of the concrete produced no industrialized process, or one produced on site, usually in limited quantities, production processes, temporary and non-industrialized. This type of concrete must be produced under the direct supervision of the project manager who must verify the initial classification of mixtures or rather the characteristic strength for each homogenous mixture of concrete.
A key element to note is that the FPC certification must never be confused with the ISO 9001 certification, which is voluntary and can be adopted by companies to implement a whole farm management system for Quality.
The activity of System Certification Process Control in pre-packing plant is configured as rather similar to that provided in their DPR 246/93 on the attestation of conformity of construction products for the CE mark (Dir. 89 / 106/CE).
