CE AVCP Costs and Price Factors

AVCP cost follows the required task allocation, not a preferred certificate price.

Direct answer

AVCP cost follows the required task allocation, not a preferred certificate price. Initial tests, samples, factory assessment, production controls and recurring surveillance can belong to different quotations. Existing reports save work only where they represent the product, use and current technical basis.

Decision and evidence

Request itemised initial and recurring costs, including travel, retests and scope changes. Compare the same product families, sites and assessment outputs.

Technical basis

For construction products, the harmonised specification or ETA and intended use determine AVCP 1+, 1, 2+, 3 or 4. The number is a division of tasks, not a quality grade.

Practical questions

Can a numbered notified body assess every construction product?

Verify current product, specification and task scope in official records. Designation in another area is insufficient. Testing, product certification and FPC certification can be separate functions. Matching the required output to the correct scope before application reduces wasted time and cost.

Does an FPC certificate under System 2+ end the manufacturer's testing duties?

Identify manufacturer and notified body tasks separately from the applicable framework. FPC certification does not replace product assessment or control records. Specify who tests what and how often. Surveillance does not transfer every daily production decision to the body.
