Issues Relating to Quarries and Deleterious Materials: Discussion
Mr. Se?n Balfe:
Not for this type of product. Construction product regulating has what they call an assessment and verification of constancy of performance, AVCP, system attestation - we are getting into technicalities here. It identifies five different classes of product. These products fall under system 2+, they call it, which is factory production control. For that category of product, we just do a factory production control audit. If it is 1+ or 1 for a cement manufacturer, for instance, we can have it tested.
