In order to ensure compliance with the general safety requirement laid down in this Regulation, the person that carries out that substantial modification is considered as the manufacturer and subject to the same obligations. That requirement should only apply in respect to the modified part of the product, provided that the modification does not affect the product as a whole. In order to avoid an unnecessary and disproportionate burden, the person carrying out the substantial modification should not be required to repeat tests and produce new documentation in relation to aspects of the product that are not affected by the modification.
