Technical construction file

Technical file, technical construction file or technical assessment file... 

A technical construction file is a special file for regulated products, high-risk machines (Annex IV machinery), and occasionally utilized for EMC (large equipment, etc.), where the use of a notified or competent body is mandatory. 

The EMC Directive sometimes mandates the use of a competent body for mandatory certification and a special file called the technical construction file (TCP). This is the case when no harmonized standards exist or they are applied only... 

The Regulations have requirements relating to the application of a CE mark, the generation and retention of a technical construction file containing prescribed information, and the drawing up of declarations of conformity or... 

If there are no relevant standards, or the manufacturer chooses not to use the standards route, then a technical construction file approved by a competent body can be produced. 

During the last 25 years, much has been learned about construction materials for petroleum facilities. Unfortunately, the information is scattered throughout various technical articles in open literature, technical committee minutes, and engineering office files. This book brings together this information for the first time in one document and also represents a summary of the authors engineering experience during the last 30 years. 

This can be accomplished by allowing the user to define which metadata he wants to be represented in the file tree view. From a technical point of view, metadata are constructed with a meta-key that represents the name or category of the data and a value. By changing the metakey structure in his current session, each user would be able to see (1) only the documents he is interested in and (2) the files categorized in an appropriate sequence. Figure 8.4 shows an example of different metadata structures displayed for different users. 

The Japanese produced FT product at the Miike Synthetic Oil Company located in Omuta and were in the process of constructing an adjoining a lubricating oil facihty that was not completed before the end of the war. Laboratory evaluation of lubricants prepared from FT oils were performed in the laboratory. Although the U. S. Naval Technical Mission Reports provide data derived from these evaluations, the data are sparse and obviously incomplete likely due to the fact that the technical files of the Japanese Research Institute were destroyed in August 1945. The available data show that for the FT derived lubricating oils the best antioxidant was a combination of triphenylphosphite and chromium oleate. 

Test reports are technical records on the conformity assessment of a product according to specific standards. Test reports are concise accounts, including clause-by-clause details on the results of the product assessment, standards rationale, test data, construction, and components. Test reports are an essential tool for conformity assessment and the most important element of the technical file. The manufacturer may obtain a test report as a element of proof of conformity from an notilied/compe-tent body (not mandatory) in advance and keep it with the technical file. The availability of such a report [from a notified body] would make matters easier and speedier in the event of challenge by authorities (refer to Notified Bodies and Due Diligence sections in Chapter 4). 

In the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EC 2004) a combination of products installed in a specific place for a specific purpose can be deemed a fixed installation and dierefore not require CE marking, however, the system must still meet the essential requirements of the EMC Directive, dierefore the building s responsible person must construct a Technical Assessment File to demonstrate compliance of the fixed installation with the directive. 

The design files (drawings, technical reports, and calculations) together with the checking of the independent engineer are reviewed and approved by the project manager of the work (see Fig. 9) before releasing the tender documents for construction bids.
