If manufacturer does not adopt harmonized regulations, where these have not imperative nature, the Management evaluates if the adopted solutions meet the expected requirements.
Technical documents check is accompanied by verifications “on the ground” by UDICER inspection staff and or by laboratory, by reference to:
– UDICER technical files, which include instructions, working and calculations sheets, to essential requirements, gathered according to evaluation modules expected by mentioned Directive relevant to product’s or inspection’s type;
– UDICER technical guidelines for compliance evaluation to essential requirements of 2013/53/UE Directive.
– Baseline harmonized standards ;
Before dossier closing and concerning assessment process, Supervisor of compliance Evaluation fully analyzes each procedure and highlights, with annotations in red, any observations or corrections to be made to individual items of the dossier. He reports, then, on first page of the dossier, the essential references to finish the verification. Only when all items will get comprehensive answer from compilers and will be elegible by advice of Supervisor, he will sign and date the dossier. This amounts to close the assessment process and gives favourable opinion to verification itself.
Once the assessment process is closed, UDICER Management, in the person of his Supervisor, releases the certificate, on UN/EC 01/53 (see above), that will be numbered by anti-forgery and anti-replication criteria.
