Upon a reasoned request (128), the manufacturer has to provide the competent national authority with all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product, in a language which can be easily understood by that authority. This would include, for example, the declaration of conformity, the relevant part of the technical documentation, or certificates issued by Notified Bodies. If agreed with market surveillance authorities, this information may be transmitted electronically. Manufacturers must cooperate with the authority, at its request, on any action taken to eliminate or mitigate the risks posed by products which they have placed on the market. Manufacturers must on request of market surveillance authorities identify any economic operator to whom they have supplied a product. They must be able to present this information for a period of 10 years after they have supplied the product.
