The application must include:
the name and address of the manufacturer of the safety component and of his authorized representative, if the application is made by the latter, and the place of manufacture of the safety components,
a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged with any other notified body,
a technical dossier,
a representative specimen of the safety component or details of the place where it can be examined. The notified body may make reasoned requests for further specimens.
In so far as is necessary for the purpose of assessing conformity, the technical dossier should include the following:
a general description of the safety component, including its area of use (in particular possible limits on speed, load and power) and conditions (in particular explosive environments and exposure to the elements),
design and manufacturing drawings or diagrams,
essential requirement(s) taken into consideration and the means adopted to satisfy it (them) (e.g. a harmonized standard),
results of any tests or calculations performed or subcontracted by the manufacturer,
a copy of the assembly instructions for the safety components,
steps taken at the manufacturing stage to ensure that series-produced safety components conform to the safety component examined.
examine the technical dossier to assess how far it can meet the desired aims,
examine the safety component to check its adequacy in terms of the technical dossier,
perform or have performed the appropriate checks and tests necessary to check whether the solutions adopted by the manufacturer of the safety component meet the requirements of the Directive allowing the safety component to carry out its function when correctly fitted on a lift.
The Commission, the Member States and the other notified bodies may obtain a copy of the certificate and, on a reasoned request, a copy of the technical dossier and reports of examinations, calculations and tests carried out. If the notified body refuses to issue an EC type-examination certificate to the manufacturer, it must state the detailed grounds for refusal. Provision must be made for an appeal procedure.
EC type-examination certificates issued,
EC type-examination certificates withdrawn.
Each notified body must also communicate to the other notified bodies the relevant information concerning the EC type-examination certificates it has withdrawn.
Where neither the manufacturer of a safety component nor his authorized representative is established in the Community, the obligation to keep the technical documentation available falls to the person who places the safety component on the Community market.
If the notified body deems it necessary, it may either issue an addition to the original EC type-examination certificate or ask for a fresh application to be submitted.
