Division 6.1.1 Assessment procedures

The manufacturer of an interoperability Constituent (IC) (and/or groups of interoperability constituents) or his authorised representative established within the Community shall draw up an EC declaration of conformity in accordance with Article 13.1 and Annex IV of the Directive 96/48/EC before placing them on the market.

The assessment procedure for conformity of interoperability constituents and/or groups of interoperability constituents as defined in Chapter 5 of this TSI shall be carried out by application of modules as specified in section 6.1.2 (Modules).

Some of the specifications in this TSI contain mandatory and/or optional functions. The Notified Body shall:

• Verify, that all mandatory functions relevant to the interoperability constituent are implemented;

• Verify, which optional functions are implemented,

and carry out the assessment of conformity.

The supplier shall indicate in the EC declaration which optional functions are implemented.

The Notified Body shall verify, that no additional functions, implemented in the constituent, lead to conflicts with implemented mandatory or optional functions.
