This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria set out in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approval certification body is required.
To pomeni, da je treba odločiti, ali je za določen proizvod sistem preverjanja tovarniške proizvodnje, za katerega je odgovoren proizvajalec, nujen in zadosten pogoj za potrjevanje skladnosti ali pa je, iz razlogov v zvezi z izpolnjevanjem meril iz člena 13(4), zato potrebno posredovanje odobrenega certifikacijskega organa.
