Conformity assessment system and approval for manufacture of pressure receptacles

6.2.2.5.1

Definitions

For the purposes of this sub-section:

Conformity assessment system means a system for competent authority approval of a manufacturer, by

pressure receptacle design type approval, approval of manufacturer's quality system and approval of

inspection bodies;

Design type means a pressure receptacle design as specified by a particular pressure receptacle

standard;

Verify means confirm by examination or provision of objective evidence that specified requirements

have been fulfilled.

6.2.2.5.2

General requirements

Competent authority

6.2.2.5.2.1

The competent authority that approves the pressure receptacle shall approve the conformity

of ADR. In instances where the competent authority that approves a pressure receptacle is not the

competent authority in the country of manufacture, the marks of the approval country and the country

of manufacture shall be indicated in the pressure receptacle marks (see 6.2.2.7 and 6.2.2.8).

The competent authority of the country of approval shall supply, upon request, evidence

demonstrating compliance to this conformity assessment system to its counterpart in a country of use.

6.2.2.5.2.2

The competent authority may delegate its functions in this conformity assessment system in whole or

in part.

6.2.2.5.2.3
