12. Standard hEN : Evaluation of conformity Establishes the links between : - the application of the product (Intended Use) - the declared characteristics (or not) - the level of attestation system Specifies the producer’s role and the role of the organisms of control (Notified Bodies) Tasks to do and levels of certification

13. Standard hEN : Evaluation of conformity Defines the Initial Type Test and the way of establishing the conformity of the manufactured product Defines the Factory Production Control Contains the Appendix ZA which becomes obligatory after the edition of the Official Paper and gives practical details of the CE Marking Tasks to do and levels of certification
