Regulation 18 EC type-examination by a United Kingdom notified body
In carrying out EC type-examination, a United Kingdom notified body shall—
examine the technical documentation, verify that the type has been manufac-tured in conformity with it and identify the elements which have been designed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the harmonized national standards, as well as the components of those standards;
perform, or have performed by a recognised test laboratory, the appropriate examinations and necessary tests to check whether the solutions adopted by the manufacturer meet the essential requirements referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of regulation 5(1) above; and
perform, or have performed by a recognised test laboratory, the appropriate examinations and necessary tests to check that the type meets the relevant common technical regulations.
The United Kingdom notified body shall agree with the applicant on the location where the examinations and necessary tests referred to in paragraph (1) above which are to be conducted by or on behalf of that body are to be carried out.
Where it appears to a United Kingdom notified body carrying out EC type-examination that the type does not meet the provisions of the TTE Directive, it shall, subject to regulation 54 below, refuse to grant the EC type-examination certificate.
