(1) A United Kingdom notified body shall, when issuing—
(a) an EC type-examination certificate, where the manufacturer or his authorised representative has chosen the EC type-examination procedure; or
(b) a decision on full quality assurance, where the manufacturer has chosen the EC declaration of conformity procedure,
issue at the same time an administrative approval for the connection of the applicable terminal equipment concerned to the public telecommunications network.
(2) Where a United Kingdom notified body issues an EC type-examination certificate or an additional approval pursuant to regulation 19(1) or 21(1), as the case may be, it shall keep a copy of the list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation annexed to the said certificate or approval, as the case may be.
(3) In carrying out its functions under these Regulations, a United Kingdom notified body shall have regard to the result of any test or assessment carried out by a recognised test laboratory, whether at the request of that body or the manufacturer; provided that nothing in these Regulations shall authorise a United Kingdom notified body to rely on the opinion of a recognised test laboratory with regard to whether any applicable terminal equipment satisfies the essential requirements except in the case of a third country relevant body which has issued documentation which certifies that the equipment complies with all the essential requirements.
