On receiving an application under Regulation 3, the Executive shall, on payment of the provisional fee, carry out or cause to be carried out on its behalf such checks, examinations and tests as are required for EEC pattern approval under the Framework Directive and the relevant Separate Directive.
If the results of the checks, examinations and tests are satisfactory, the Executive shall grant EEC pattern approval and issue an EEC pattern approval certificate to the applicant.
The certificate issued shall—
be in accordance with the model set out in the relevant Separate Directive, and
be accompanied by the technical annex specified in that Directive, and such descriptions and drawings as are necessary to identify the pattern and, where it is appropriate, to explain how it functions.
The Executive shall not proceed with an application under this Regulation in any case where to its knowledge an application for EEC pattern approval in respect of the same pattern of gas cylinder has previously been made to another authority which, under the law of any Member State, is authorised to grant such approval for the purposes of the Framework Directive and the relevant Separate Directive.
