Recital 74

(74) To speed up and facilitate the verification of compliance of products placed on the market, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by requiring economic operators, where necessary, to make specific parts of the technical documentation digitally available both to competent national authorities and to the Commission. This would allow competent national authorities to access such information without request, while continuing to guarantee the protection of trade secrets and intellectual property rights. Possible means of making such information digitally available should as a rule include a digital product passport, or via inclusion in the compliance part of the product database referred to in Regulation (EU) 2017/1369, or on a website of the economic operator. Such an obligation should not take away from the competent national authorities’ right to access other parts of the technical documentation on request.
