Order No D1-901 of the Minister for Environment of the Republic of Lithuania of 10 December 2015 approving the Technical Construction Regulation STR 1.01.04:2015 "Assessment, verification of constancy of performance of construction products for which there are no harmonized technical specifications and declaration of performance of such products. Designation of testing laboratories and certification bodies. National Technical Assessments and designation and notification of Technical Assessment Bodies" (hereinafter referred to as Draft Order). (3 page(s), in Lituanian)

The Draft Order amends the Construction Technical Regulation STR 1.01.04:2015 (hereinafter referred to as Regulation) with new point 16 making it clear what needs to be done for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction product which is not on the List of Construction Products Subject to Regulation (the List is approved by the Order of the Minister for Environment of the Republic of Lithuania, renewed nearly on annual basis). In order to establish more detailed, comprehensive and clear requirements for the designation of test laboratories and certification bodies, the Draft Order foresees the amendment of point 17 of the Regulation. The Draft Order amends the Regulation with new point 17, which states that test laboratory or certification body accredited in the area of construction products covered by the European Assessment Document (or ETAG) and wishing to become a designated body when products in this area have national technical assessments, instead of documents proving its compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter VII of the Regulation may submit an accreditation certificate issued by the National Accreditation Bureau under the Ministry of Economy, certifying that the body is accredited for performing the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (hereinafter referred to as Regulation (EU) No 305/2011), a copy of the civil liability insurance cover and information on employee impartiality. The Draft Order amends the Regulation also in a way that it would: set out in detail the actions of the Ministry of the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania in cases of the suspension or repeal of the designation of the designated body in the event of non-compliance with the requirements established; establish requirements for the storage of documents where the designated body ceases to perform the functions of the designated body; imposes obligations on the designated body to ensure that their subcontractors or affiliates meet the requirements set out by the Regulation; impose obligation on the designated body to provide information to the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania in cases when the validity of the accreditation certificate expires.
