Recital 77

(77) In order to help to facilitate the verification of compliance with ecodesign requirements, including to facilitate conformity assessment and market surveillance, the Commission should be empowered to require, where duly justified, that supply chain actors provide, free of charge, information on what they supply, such as the quantity and type or chemical composition of materials used or the production process employed, or information on the conditions of the provision of their services. It should also be possible to allow manufacturers to have access to the documents containing such information or to the actual facilities of the supply chain actors so that they can access directly the necessary information if the supply chain actors do not provide the information requested within a reasonable time. The Commission should also be empowered to enable notified bodies and national authorities to verify the accuracy of the information related to the activities of the supply chain actors.
