Article 13
Once a commodity has been granted type approval, the applicant may apply for batch inspection of the commodity by completing an application form with a copy of the type approval certificate. However, copies of the type approval certificate need not be submitted if the certificate number of the type approval is provided. In case where the applicant is not the nominal holder of the type approval certificate, it shall provide additional documents providing evidence of the holder’s authorization.
For commodities of which the type approval is granted based on the type test reports obtained in accordance with the requirements under Subparagraph 2, Paragraph 1 of Article 6, the inspection authority may limit the quantity of commodities to be filed for inspection application.
