Division 4.1

The EC declaration of type conformity (guarantee of product quality) is that part of the procedure whereby a manufacturer who fulfils the obligations in point 4.2 declares that the appliances concerned are in conformity with the type as described in the EC type-examination certificate and satisfy the essential requirements of this Directive which apply to them. The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community must affix the CE marking to each appliance and draw up a written declaration of conformity. This declaration may cover one or more appliances and must be kept by the manufacturer. The CE marking must be followed by the identification number of the notified body responsible for EC surveillance.
