§ 197 Conformity to type based on product verification
Module F “Conformity to type based on product verification” as Annex V to the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (indicated as “Product verification” in the previous Directive 94/9/EC) is one of modules that may be applied after the Module B (EU-type examination certificate, Annex III).
In this conformity assessment procedure, examination and tests of every product are carried out by a notified body to check the conformity of the equipment, protective system or device with the requirements of Directive 2014/34/EU, and draws up a certificate of conformity.
§ 198 Manufacturing
The manufacturer has to ensure compliance of the manufactured products to the approved EU-type (under module B) and the legislative requirements.
§ 199 Verification
The notified body has to carry out appropriate examinations and tests (testing of every product or statistical checks).
The notified body takes into account the technical documentation but does not examine it, as it has been already examined under module B.
The notified body issues a certificate of conformity and:
- affixes its identification number or delegates to the manufacturer the affixing of its identification number,
- keeps a record of its decisions and other relevant information, and
- informs its notifying authorities and the other bodies about the examinations performed.
5.1. The manufacturer shall affix the CE marking and, under the responsibility of the notified body referred to in point 3, the latter's identification number to each individual product other than a component that is in conformity with the approved type described in the EU-type examination certificate and satisfies the applicable requirements of this Directive.
If the notified body referred to in point 3 agrees and under its responsibility, the manufacturer may also affix the notified body's identification number to the products other than components.
§ 200 CE marking, EU declaration of conformity and attestation of conformity
As in this conformity assessment module (F) the notified body is involved in the production phase, the CE marking must be followed by the identification number of the notified body.
CE marking should not be affixed to a component, but only the identification number of the notified body involved in the production phase.
A written declaration of conformity should be issued by the manufacturer (or its authorised representative) except for components. For components a written attestation of conformity must be issued.
6. If the notified body agrees and under its responsibility, the manufacturer may affix the notified body's identification number to the products during the manufacturing process.
§ 201 The notified body’s identification number
This is a matter of contractual or informal agreement between the manufacturer and the notified body.
§ 202 Authorised representative
According to the mandate contractually agreed with the manufacturer, the authorised representative can be entitled to fulfil the manufacturer’s obligations, with the exception of those related to the conformity of the manufactured products with the approved type.
