Conformity based on post-construction assessment is the procedure to assess the equivalent conformity of a product for which the manufacturer has not assumed the responsibility for the product’s conformity with [F1this Directive] [F1these Regulations], and whereby a natural or legal person referred to in [F2Article 19(2), (3) or (4)] [F2regulation 43(1), (2) or (3)] who is placing the product on the market or putting it into service under his own responsibility is assuming the responsibility for the equivalent conformity of the product. This person shall fulfill the obligations laid down in points 2 and 4 and ensure and declare on his sole responsibility that the product concerned, which has been subject to the provisions of point 3, is in conformity with the applicable requirements of [F1this Directive] [F1these Regulations].
The person who is placing the product on the market or putting it into service shall lodge an application for a post-construction assessment of the product with [F3a notified] [F3an approved] body and must provide [F4the notified] [F4the approved] body with the documents and technical file enabling [F4the notified] [F4the approved] body to assess the conformity of the product with the requirements of [F1this Directive] [F1these Regulations] and any available information on the use of the product after its first putting into service.
The person who is placing such a product on the market or putting it into service shall keep these documents and information at the disposal of the [F5relevant national authorities] [F5enforcing authority] for 10 years after the product has been assessed on its equivalent conformity in accordance with the post-construction assessment procedure.
The [F6notified] [F6approved] body shall examine the individual product and carry out calculations, tests and other assessments, to the extent necessary to ensure that the equivalent conformity of the product with the relevant requirements of [F1this Directive] [F1these Regulations] is demonstrated.
The [F6notified] [F6approved] body shall draw up and issue a certificate and a related report of conformity concerning the assessment carried out and shall keep a copy of the certificate and related report of conformity at the disposal of the [F7national authorities] [F7enforcing authority] for 10 years after it has issued these documents.
The [F6notified] [F6approved] body shall affix its identification number next to the [F8CE] [F8UK] marking on the approved product or have it affixed under its responsibility.
In case the assessed product is a watercraft, the [F6notified] [F6approved] body shall also have affixed, under his responsibility, the watercraft identification number as referred to in point 2.1 of Part A of [F9Annex I] [F9Schedule 1], whereby the field for the country code of the manufacturer shall be used to indicate the country of establishment of the [F6notified] [F6approved] body and the fields for the unique code of the manufacturer assigned by [F10the national authority of the [F11relevant state]] [F10or on behalf of the Secretary of State] to indicate the post-construction assessment identification code assigned to the [F6notified] [F6approved] body, followed by the serial number of the post-construction assessment certificate. The fields in the watercraft identification number for the month and year of production and for the model year shall be used to indicate the month and year of the post-construction assessment.
The person who is placing the product on the market or putting it into service shall affix the [F13CE] [F13UK] marking and, under the responsibility of the [F14notified] [F14approved] body referred to in Section 3, the latter’s identification number to the product for which the [F14notified] [F14approved] body has assessed and certified its equivalent conformity with the relevant requirements of [F1this Directive] [F1these Regulations].
The person who is placing the product on the market or putting it into service shall draw up [F15an EU] [F15a] declaration of conformity and keep it at the disposal of the [F16national authorities] [F16enforcing authority] for 10 years after the date the post-construction assessment certificate has been issued. The declaration of conformity shall identify the product for which it has been drawn up.
A copy of [F17the EU] [F17the] declaration of conformity shall be made available to the [F18relevant authorities] [F18enforcing authority] upon request.
In the case the assessed product is a watercraft, the person who is placing the watercraft on the market or putting it into service shall affix to the watercraft the builder’s plate described in point 2.2 of Part A of [F19Annex I] [F19Schedule 1], which shall include the words ‘post-construction assessment’, and the watercraft identification number described in point 2.1 of Part A of [F19Annex I] [F19Schedule 1], in accordance with the provisions set out in Section 3.
