The manufacturer or his authorised representative must keep with the technical documentation copies of EC type-examination certificates and their additions for at least 30 years after the last component has been manufactured. Where a subsystem with an EC declaration of conformity is found not to comply, the competent Member State shall take appropriate action against whomsoever drew up the EC declaration of conformity and shall so inform the Commission and the other Member States. The auditing team must have a least one member with experience of evaluating in the component technology concerned. The evaluation procedure must include an inspection visit to the manufacturer's premises. The application for EC type-examination must be lodged by the manufacturer or by his authorised representative established within the Community with a notified body of his choice. the measures relating to a subsystem are unjustified, it shall immediately so inform the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the Community or, in their absence, any natural or legal person having placed the subsystem in question on the market, and the Member State which took the measures.

Member States shall ensure that an installation remains in operation only if it conforms to the conditions set out in the safety report. Installations for which authorisation has been given before the entry into force of this Directive and for which construction has not yet started must comply with the provisions of this Directive, unless Member States decide otherwise, stating their reasons, and an equally high level of protection is achieved.Vehicles and/or towing devices and, in particular, their suspension mechanisms must be designed and fitted so as to ensure the safety of workers servicing them in accordance with appropriate rules and instructions. The assessment procedures implemented by the notified bodies both at the design and production stage are based on the modules defined in Council Decision 93/465/EEC along the lines indicated in the following table. The solutions in this table are considered to be equivalent and can be used at the manufacturer's discretion. b) should non-conformity persist, the Member State must take all appropriate measures to restrict or prohibit the placing on the market of the safety component in question, or to ensure that it is withdrawn from the market in accordance with the procedures provided for in Article 14.

The notified body shall draw up the EC examination certificate in accordance with Annex VII and the technical documentation which accompanies it. The technical documentation must include all the necessary documents concerning the characteristics of the subsystem and, where appropriate, all the documents certifying the conformity of the safety components. It must also contain all the relevant details of the conditions of, and restrictions on, use and of the instructions for servicing.The Commission shall report to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of this Directive, and in particular Article 1(6) and 17 thereof, not later than 3 May 2004 and, if necessary, submit any proposal for appropriate amendments. Member States may not, on the basis of this Directive, prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on their national markets of safety components intended to be used in an installation where such components comply with the provisions of this Directive. a) where a Member State establishes that the CE conformity marking has been wrongly affixed, the manufacturer of the safety component or the authorised representative of the latter established in the Community shall be obliged to make the product conform as regards the provisions concerning the CE conformity marking and to end the infringement under the conditions imposed by the Member State; Where a Member State or the Commission considers that a European specification as referred to in paragraph 2 does not entirely satisfy the essential requirements referred to in Article 3(1), the Commission or the Member State concerned shall bring the matter before the committee referred to in Article 17 giving the reasons therefor. The committee shall deliver an opinion without delay.

The manufacturer must allow the notified body entrance for inspection purposes to the places of design, manufacture, inspection and testing, and storage, and shall provide it with all necessary information, in particular: In the case of vehicles equipped with disconnectable fittings, all measures must be taken to bring to a halt, without risk to users, at the moment of departure, any vehicle whose fitting has been incorrectly connected to the cable and, at the moment of arrival, any vehicle whose fitting has not been disconnected, and to prevent the vehicle from falling. The ASICS GT 2000 9 weighs 9.9oz (281g), which is pretty moderate for most stability running shoes (10.5oz/297g average weight). Even with the weight that accounts for many of the stability features within a shoe of this type, I was impressed with how much bounce and response the shoe showed. It must be possible for children and persons with reduced mobility to use the installation safely if the installation is designed for the transport of such persons. Where the safety components are subject to other Directives concerning other aspects and which also provide for the affixing of the CE conformity marking, the marking shall indicate that the safety component is also presumed to conform to the provisions of those other Directives.Cableway installation may come within the scope of Council Directive 93/38/EEC of 14 June 1993 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors(5). descriptions and explanations necessary for the understanding of said drawings and schemes and the operation of the component, the corresponding manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance techniques, processes and systematic actions that will be used, The decision must be notified to the manufacturer. The notification must contain the conclusions of the examination and the reasoned assessment decision.
