The markings must immediately be followed by the identification of the F4approved body where that body is involved in the production control phase as set out in F5Schedule 7.

The identification number of the F6approved body which carried out the conformity assessment procedure must be affixed by the body itself, or under its instructions by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorised representative.

The markings and the identification number of the F7approved body may be followed by any other mark indicating a special risk or use.
