National Technical Approval
No. Z-40.21-510
(2) In-house production monitoring shall include the inspections listed in Annex 4, section 1.
(3)
The results of in-house production monitoring shall be recorded and evaluated. These records
shall contain the following data, as a minimum:
-
Designation of the construction product and/or source material
-
Type of monitoring or inspection
-
Date of manufacture and of inspection of the construction product and/or source material, or its
components
-
Result of monitoring and inspections and comparison with requirements
-
Signature of the person in charge of in-house production monitoring.
(4)
These records shall be kept for at least five years and submitted to the third-party monitoring
agency. They shall be submitted to the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik and, on request, to the
most senior responsible building control authority.
(5)
In the event that inspection results are unsatisfactory, the manufacturer shall take the
necessary remedial action immediately. Construction products that do not meet the requirements
shall be handled such as to eliminate the possibility of confusion with compliant products. After the
defect has been corrected, the inspection in question shall be repeated immediately, as far as
technically possible.
2.4.3
Third-party monitoring
(1) In-house production monitoring at each production plant shall be verified by an external body in
accordance with Annex 4, section 2 (2) on a regular basis, and at least twice a year.
(2)
An initial inspection of the tanks pursuant to Annex 4, section 2 (1) shall be performed within
the framework of third-party monitoring. Furthermore, samples may be taken for random tests.
Sampling and inspections are the responsibility of the recognised monitoring agency. If the
inspections in respect of suitability for use - on which National Technical Approval is based - are
performed on samples officially taken from ongoing production, these inspections shall replace the
initial inspection.
(3)
The results of certification and third-party monitoring shall be kept for a minimum period of five
years. The certification agency or monitoring agency shall submit the results to the Deutsches
Institut für Bautechnik and, if so requested, to the most senior responsible building control
authority.

Provisions for drafting and dimensioning
(1)The tanks covered by this National Technical Approval (consisting of inner and outer tanks) are
designed to resist fire for 30 minutes without suffering leakage inside buildings that conform to
building regulations for heating and heating oil storage rooms.
(2) If tanks are installed outdoors, suitable measures shall be provided during drafting and
dimensioning to prevent the spread of fire from neighbouring areas and the outbreak of fire in the
facility itself.
(3) The conditions for tank installation are based on the statutory regulations relating to water,
occupational health & safety and construction.
(4) The tanks shall be installed in a location protected from the wind, or anchored such that they
cannot tip over under the impact of wind.
(5) The tanks shall be protected against impact by vehicles and vandalism, e.g. by installation in a
protected place, use of collision guards or installation in a suitable room.
