Recital 53
(53) The self-declaration should provide the competent authority with all necessary information regarding the product, in order for the authority to check its compliance with the product specification. To ensure that the information provided in the self-declaration is comprehensive, a harmonised structure for such declarations should be set out. The producer should take full responsibility for ensuring that the information provided in the self-declaration is complete, consistent and accurate, and should be able to provide, without affecting protection of know-how and trade secrets, the necessary evidence to allow for the verification of that information.
