art_10__para_4
4. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 89 in order to amend Annex IX to: introduce additional assessment and verification systems when necessary to adapt to technical progress; or amend the existing assessment and verification systems to counter systematic non-compliance by notified bodies or manufacturers and to harmonise the application of the requirements or obligations contained in them, without such amendments adding or removing any task defined in a system. When adopting delegated acts under point (a), the Commission may not introduce additional systems that set more demanding obligations for economic operators than those provided for in System 1+. In addition, the Commission may introduce such additional systems only when it is evident that guidance on the application of existing systems has proved to be insufficient.
