2.4.2
Factory production control
(1) Factory production control is to be established and performed in every manufacturing plant.
Factory production control is understood to be the ongoing monitoring of production by the
manufacturer to ensure that the containers that it manufactures are compliant with the general
technical approval included in this decision (Sections 1 and 2).
(2) The factory production control must include the inspections listed in Annex 4.
(3) The results of the factory production control must be recorded and evaluated. The records
shall contain the following information as a minimum:
-
Description of the building product or the raw material,
-
Type of check or inspection,
-
Date of manufacture and date of inspection of the building product or the raw material or
its components,
-
Results of the checks and inspections and comparison with the requirements,
-
Signature of the person responsible for the factory production control.
(4) Records must be retained for a period of at least five years and presented to the inspection
body appointed for the purposes of performing external inspections. They are to be submitted
to the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik and the highest competent building authority upon
request.
(5) Where the results of inspections are unsatisfactory, the manufacturer shall immediately
take the necessary steps in order to rectify the defect. Building products that do not meet the
requirements are to be handled in such a way that they cannot be mistaken for compliant
products. Once the defect has been rectified, the inspection in question must be repeated
without delay, in so far as it is technically feasible.
External inspection
2.4.3
(1) At every manufacturing plant, the plant and the factory production control must undergo
regular external inspections, at least twice per year.
(2) An initial inspection of the containers must be carried out as part of the external inspection.
As a minimum, the external inspection and the initial inspection must include performance of
the tests specified in Section 2.4.2. In addition, samples may be taken for the purposes of
performing spot checks. Sampling and inspections shall fall under the responsibility of the
approved inspection body.
(3) The results of the certification and external inspection must be retained for at least five
years. They are to be submitted by the certification body or the inspection body to the
Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik and the highest competent building authority upon request.

Provisions for planning, dimensioning and design
3.1
Planning and dimensioning
(1) Any measures required to maintain the stability and leak-tightness of the Container in the
event of a fire must, where necessary, be decided upon in agreement with the authorities
responsible for fire protection.
(2) The Container should be installed in accordance with the provisions of water law,
occupational health and safety regulations and building codes.
(3) Where the Container is installed in outdoor areas, it must be protected from the effects of
wind and snow, and the impact of other weather conditions must be kept to a minimum.
