[F1Statistical verification of conformityE+W+S

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

5.(1) The manufacturer must take all measures necessary so that the manufacturing process and its monitoring ensure the homogeneity of each lot produced and must present the manufacturer's products for verification in the form of homogeneous lots.

(2) A random sample must be taken from each lot by the approved body. All products in a sample must be individually examined, and appropriate tests set out in the relevant designated standard or technical specification or equivalent tests must be carried out in order to ensure their conformity with the essential requirements that apply to them and to determine whether the lot is to be accepted or rejected. In the absence of such a designated standard, the approved body concerned must decide on the appropriate tests to be carried out.

(3) If a lot is accepted, all products of the lot must be considered approved, except for those products from the sample that have been found not to satisfy the tests.

(4) The approved body must issue a certificate of conformity in respect of the examinations and tests carried out and must affix its identification number to each approved product or have it affixed under its responsibility.

(5) The manufacturer must keep the certificates of conformity at the disposal of the enforcing authority for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market.

(6) If a lot is rejected, the approved body or, if the approved body fails to do so, the Secretary of State must take appropriate measures to prevent that lot being placed on the market. In the event of the frequent rejection of lots, the approved body may suspend the statistical verification and take appropriate measures.]
