Recital 52

(52) The self-declaration should be submitted by the producer to the competent authority responsible for verifying compliance with the product specification. To demonstrate continuous compliance, such self-declaration should be submitted every three years. Producers should be required to submit an updated self-declaration immediately when there is an amendment to the product specification of a kind that has an effect on the product concerned. Verification based on self-declaration should not prevent producers from having compliance of their products with the product specification verified by third parties. It should be possible for such third-party verification to supplement a self-declaration, but not to replace it.
