10 Evaluation of conformity

  1. General

The compliance of the component with the requirements of this European Standard shall be demonstrated by:

  • initial type testing,

  • factory production control by the manufacturer.

NOTE The manufacturer is a natural or legal person, who places the component on the market under his own name. Normally, the manufacturer designs and manufactures the component himself. As a first alternative, he may have it designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed or labelled by subcontracting. As a second alternative he may assemble, pack, process, or label ready-made products.

The manufacturer shall ensure:

  • that the initial type testing in accordance with this European Standard is initiated and carried out (where relevant, under the control of a product certification body); and

  • that the component continuously complies with the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with this European Standard has been verified.

He shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary competence to take the responsibility for the component.

The manufacturer shall be fully responsible for the conformity of that component to all relevant regulatory requirements. However, where the manufacturer uses components already shown to conform to those requirements relevant for that component (e.g. by CE marking) the manufacturer is not required to repeat the evaluation which led to such conformity. Where the manufacturer uses components not already shown to conform, it is his responsibility to undertake the necessary evaluation to show conformity.
