(1) On application made by the body, the Secretary of State may approve one or more bodies of persons—
(a) to consider applications for EEC pattern approval, to conduct any examination for EEC pattern approval and to grant if appropriate, a certificate of EEC pattern approval in respect of clinical thermometers; and
(b) to carry out EEC initial verification and to affix the EEC mark of initial verification in respect of clinical thermometers.
(2) Any such approval—
(a) may be given for an unlimited period, or for a specified period, or for specified purposes; and
(b) may be given subject to conditions (including conditions which are to apply upon or following withdrawal of the approval).
(3) The Secretary of State shall withdraw an approval if the body so requests and may withdraw an approval if the body ceases to comply with any such conditions.
(4) In a case where the Secretary of State—
(a) refuses an application for approval under paragraph (1) above or imposes any condition more onerous than any of those proposed by the body or imposes any condition at all when the body proposed none; or
(b) withdraws an approval under paragraph (3) above,
he shall inform the body of the grounds for the refusal, imposition of that condition or withdrawal of approval, as the case may be.
(5) If for any reason an approved body ceases to be an approved body under this regulation, the Secretary of State may designate another approved body to take over its functions in respect of such cases as he may specify.
(6) The approved body may charge a fee in accordance with paragraphs (7), (8) and (9) for anything done in, or in connection with, performing a function under these Regulations.
(7) Except as provided by paragraph (8) the fee charged in respect of anything done shall not exceed an amount which reasonably represents the cost incurred, or to be incurred in doing it.
(8) Where the approved body is a body the activities of which are carried on for profit, the fee for doing anything may include an amount representing a profit which is reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to—
(a) the character and extent of the work done or to be done by the approved body; and
(b) the commercial rate normally charged in respect of profit for that work or similar work.
(9) The approved body may require payment of a fee or a reasonable estimate of the fee, in advance of carrying out the work in respect of which the fee is payable and as a condition of doing that work.
