3. Verification
The manufacturer shall lodge an application for unit verification of a subsystem or a safety component with the notified body of his choice. The application shall include: the name and address of the manufacturer and, if the application is lodged by the authorised representative, his name and address as well; a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged with any other notified body; the technical documentation for the subsystem or the safety component according to Annex VIII; details of the premises where the subsystem or the safety component can be examined. The notified body shall examine the technical documentation for the subsystem or the safety component and shall carry out the appropriate examinations and tests set out in the relevant harmonised standards and/or equivalent tests set out in other relevant technical specifications, to check the conformity of the subsystem or the safety component with the applicable requirements of this Regulation, or have them carried out. In the absence of such a harmonised standard the notified body concerned shall decide on the appropriate tests to be carried out. The notified body shall issue a certificate of conformity in respect of the examinations and tests carried out and shall affix its identification number to the approved subsystem or safety component, or have it affixed under its responsibility. If the notified body refuses to issue a certificate of conformity, it shall state in detail the reasons for the refusal and indicate the necessary corrective measures to be taken. When the manufacturer reapplies for unit verification of the subsystem or the safety component concerned, he shall apply to the same notified body. On request, the notified body shall provide the Commission and the Member States with a copy of the certificate of conformity. The manufacturer shall keep the technical documentation and the certificate of conformity at the disposal of the national authorities for 30 years after the subsystem or the safety component has been placed on the market.
