Those documents have been published as the Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Council Directive 89/106/EEC (). Paragraph 4.2.1 of interpretative document No 2 justifies the need for different levels of the essential requirement ‘Safety in case of fire’ as a function of the type, use and location of the construction work, its layout and the availability of the emergency facilities. Paragraph 2.2 of interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures for the satisfaction of the essential requirement ‘Safety in case of fire’ that together contribute to define the fire safety strategy that can be developed in different ways in Member States. Paragraph 4.3.1.3 of interpretative document No 2 identifies one of these measures prevailing in Member States that relates to the resistance to fire performance of construction products and/or parts of construction works. To enable the resistance to fire performance of construction products and construction works or parts thereof to be evaluated, the harmonised solution consists in a system of classes that is included in interpretative document No 2. 40, 11.2.1989, p. 12. oL 0] L 220, 30.8.1993, p. 1. 0] C 62, 28.2.1994, p. 1.
