The Ministry of Industry and Trade provides pursuant to Section 24 of Act No. 156 / 2000 Coll., on the Verification of Firearms, Ammo and Pyrotechnic Articles and on the Amendment to Act No. 288 / 1995 Coll., on Firearms and Ammo (Firearms Act), as amended by Act No. 13 / 1998 Coll., and Act No. 368 / 1992 Coll., on Administrative Fees, as amended, ("the Act '):
This Decree sets out more detailed conditions under which manufacturers, importers, distributors, repairers of specified firearms, specified ammunition or pyrotechnic articles or those who are entered in the licence for specified firearms, hereinafter referred to as "promoters', fulfil the obligations laid down by law and details of the procedure of the Czech Office for the Testing of Weapons and Weapons (hereinafter referred to as" the Office ') in the verification of specified firearms, ammunition or pyrotechnic articles.
Procedure for the approval of specified firearms
(1) For the approval of specified firearms (hereinafter referred to as "homologation"), the petitioner, together with the application (Article 18 of the Act), shall submit to the Office technical and accompanying documentation and two specified firearms bearing the manufacturer's trade name or trade mark, type, serial number and mark of the calibre of the ammunition used, on each barrel and revolver cylinder, if any, on the barrel or cylinder of a different calibre. The Authority shall examine the technical and accompanying documentation and notify the petitioner in writing of the conditions for the approval (place and extent of tests, amount of administrative fee and remuneration).
(2) For specified firearms submitted for approval (Section 6 (1) of the Act), the Office is investigating:
(a) conformity of basic dimensions with the manufacturer's technical documentation and with the technical requirements laid down (Section 4 of the Act);
(b) the type designation given on a specified firearm;
(c) safe shooting function;
(d) the integrity of the material from which the weapon is manufactured, in the event of shooting and difficult climatic conditions;
(e) the accuracy and completeness of the technical and accompanying documentation;
In addition, it shall establish whether the manufacturer has the necessary calibrated gauges, the inspection procedures developed, the necessary premises and has the technical and personnel conditions to carry out checks on all products identical to the approved type of specified firearm (hereinafter referred to as the "control system ') and whether it keeps records.
(3) The type of specified firearm presented may include several variants, provided that these variants do not have different characteristics with regard to the specified technical requirements.
(4) In the case of the homologation of imported specified firearms, the petitioner who does not provide evidence of the control system (Paragraph 6 (1) of the Act) shall provide the foreign manufacturer with the identification of such data in cooperation with the Office at his expense.
(5) The Office shall always, after completion of the homologation, issue to the translator a written record of the verification (hereinafter referred to as the "Protocol"), indicating:
(a) identification of the petitioner;
(b) the description and designation of the specified firearms;
(c) a description of the tests carried out with regard to the technical requirements laid down, their results and their evaluation;
(d) the place of the tests and the date of issue of the report.
(6) If the conditions set out in Paragraph 6 (1) of the Act are fulfilled, the Office shall issue a certificate of homologation containing:

(8) Upon completion of the approval, one specimen of the verified type of specified firearms shall be deposited with the Office. The second specimen bearing the designated test mark and the approval number shall be returned to the petitioner.
(9) For specified firearms subject to homologation (§ 6 (2) of the Act), the Office shall carry out a partial verification where they are not manufactured in series and periodically verify that the specified firearms comply with the stated technical requirements (§ 6 (3) of the Act).
Procedure for unit verification of specified firearms
(1) In the case of a partial verification of specified firearms (hereinafter referred to as "partial verification '), the petitioner, together with the application (Section 18 of the Act), shall submit to the Office any specified firearm bearing the trade name or trade mark of the manufacturer, type name, serial number and calibre of the ammunition used, on each barrel and revolver cylinder, if it is a major or cylinder of different calibre. In addition, each shotgun barrel shall bear indications of the measured diameter of the drill and the marking of the material from which it is produced and, where appropriate, of the mass. Any barrel intended solely for the use of black dust shall be marked in such a way that it is undisputed that it is a barrel intended for the use of black dust, unless otherwise specified by the Office.
(2) In the partial verification of specified firearms (Section 7 of the Act), the Office implements:
(a) inspection prior to the test shooting;
(b) test shooting;
(c) inspection after a test shooting.
(3) The technical requirements for specified firearms for unit verification are set out in Annex 1 and in Czech technical standards. 2)
(4) In the pre-shooting inspection, the Office shall discard a specified firearm which does not comply with the requirements set out in Annex 1, point 1.1 or one whose marking does not comply with the requirements set out in paragraph 1. It shall notify the petitioner accordingly.
(5) The Office will not verify a specified firearm which is visibly damaged by the test shooting and specified firearms showing defects listed in Annex 1 (3) or having an irreparable defect listed in Annex 1 (4). It shall notify the petitioner accordingly.
(6) If, during the test shooting carried out in accordance with Annex 1, there is a suspicion that the pressure of the test charge, such as gas leakage, has been reduced, the Authority shall carry out additional firing in excess of the prescribed number of test shots; In the event of doubt as to the strength of a specified firearm subjected to a test shooting, or in the event of doubt as to the existence of damage or other defect of a specified firearm, or in the event of a defect in the cartridge shell, the Authority shall also carry out additional shooting by test rounds.
(7) If the test fire carried out in accordance with Annex 1 results in a defective function of the specified firearm being tested, the Authority shall carry out the verification of the function by additional firing of the consumables supplied by the promoter, at least two shots per chamber.
(8) At the request of the petitioner, the verification of the shotgun may be replaced by a higher pressure test (higher test) or a steel shot test.
(9) If a specified firearm with more than one of the main irreparable malfunctions has only one, the Office shall propose to the promoter a professional impairment (3) a faulty barrel in which to prevent the charge being inserted into the barrel. If the petitioner does not agree with this proposal, the Office shall proceed under Paragraph 19 (2) of the Act.
(10) In addition, in the case of a partial verification of specified firearms imported from abroad, the test marks of which are not recognised in the Czech Republic under the Convention (1) and which have a tilting barrel, the following shall be ascertained:
