Where a manufacturer, importer or distributor intends to place on the market a product whose characteristics are not in conformity with the provisions of Czech technical standards, ensuring the safety of such products at least at the same level as the level of protection laid down in Czech technical standards shall be deemed to meet the essential requirements for products.

(a) procure the technical documentation referred to in Article 4;
(b) carry out a conformity assessment in accordance with Article 12 (3) (a) of the Act before placing the product on the market and on the basis of the technical documentation referred to in Article 4 and on the basis of tests on a sample of the product which it shall carry out or enter into the product, assess whether the characteristics of the product meet the essential requirements for the products,

(5) Where a product sample complies with the requirements set out in Section 1 (2), the authorised person shall issue a certificate of the product type and transmit it to the manufacturer, importer or distributor. The product type certificate shall contain the conclusions of the detection, verification and test results, the description or, where appropriate, the representation of the product necessary for its identification.
(6) The manufacturer, importer or distributor shall ensure that all products placed on the market conform to a certified type.
(7) The manufacturer, importer or distributor may, in agreement with the authorised person, choose other procedures referred to in Section 12 (3) of the Act, if this is more appropriate for the product concerned.

(e) a summary of the technical regulations and a list of the Czech technical standards used (Section 4 (1) of the Act) and, where applicable, of their articles and a description of the solutions adopted to meet the essential requirements for products;
(f) the results of the design calculations and tests carried out;
(g) test reports and, where appropriate, certificates.
The documents (Section 13 (4) of the Act) on the method of assessment of conformity used include technical documentation or documents issued when assessing conformity by an authorised or accredited person (Section 14 of the Act).

(2) Where there is a change in the facts on which a certificate of conformity has been issued for a product which is to continue to be placed on the market after that change and where such change may affect the characteristics of the product in terms of essential requirements for the products, manufacturer, importer or distributor, a new certificate of conformity shall be issued. Other changes to the facts on which the certificate of conformity was issued shall be indicated in the addendum to the certificate of conformity.
For products placed on the market after the entry into force of this Regulation by 31 December 1997, the technical documentation may be supplemented by the documents referred to in Article 4 (2) (d) and (e) retrospectively and by 31 December 1997 at the latest.
