Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. Following a request for a UK Technical Assessment by a manufacturer, a UK Assessment Document shall be drawn up and adopted by the responsible TAB for any construction product not covered or not fully covered by a designated standard, for which the performance in relation to its essential characteristics cannot be entirely assessed according to an existing designated standard, because, inter alia:
(a) the product does not fall within the scope of any existing designated standard;
(b) for at least one essential characteristic of that product, the assessment method provided for in the designated standard is not appropriate; or
(c) the designated standard does not provide for any assessment method in relation to at least one essential characteristic of that product.
1A. The duty in paragraph (1) applies only to TABs that are established in the United Kingdom.
2. The procedure for adopting the UK Assessment Document shall respect the principles set out in Article 20 and shall comply with Article 21 and Annex II.
3. The Secretary of State may make regulations in accordance with Article 60 to amend Annex II and establish supplementary procedural rules for the development and adoption of a UK Assessment Document.
4. The Secretary of State may use a UK Assessment Document as a basis for a standardisation mandate with a view to developing a standard for a product referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.
