(b)it bears the EC mark affixed in a visible, easily legible and indelible manner and is accompanied by an EC declaration of conformity.

(b)certifies that the boiler is of a type which has been examined and certified by a notified body in accordance with the procedures specified in Schedule 4,
(c)declares that the manufacturer or such a representative has, in accordance with the requirements specified in Part I, II or III of Schedule 5, ensured that the boiler conforms to that type, and
(d)where the boiler is also subject to one or more Community Directives (other than the Directive) which provide for the affixing of an EC mark and allow the manufacturer during a transitional period to choose which arrangements to apply, specifies in respect of which of those Directives the EC mark, if affixed during that period, indicates conformity.
(3) No person shall issue an EC declaration of conformity in respect of a boiler unless the efficiency requirements are satisfied in respect of that boiler.
