It is therefore necessary to establish which system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance is applicable to the anchor devices.\n(2)\nTaking into account that the anchor devices are intended to prevent persons from falling from a height or to arrest falls from a height, it is appropriate to choose a system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance that comprises continuing surveillance, assessment and evaluation of the manufacturer's factory production control and audit testing of samples taken by the notified product certification body at the manufacturing plant or at the manufacturer's storage facilities,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
