The scope of the monitoring for compliance should be defined, both with respect to the categories of chemicals and to the types of tests subject to it, for example, physical, chemical, toxicological and/or ecotoxicological,

Whereas, in its communication of 15 June 1989 on a global approach to certification and testing (5), the Commission proposed that common rules be drawn up concerning a 'CE' conformity marking with a single design;

whereas it is therefore necessary to harmonize these provisions, particularly with regard to products which may fall within the scope of several of these Directives;

whereas, in order to facilitate the process of demonstrating compliance with the essential requirements, it would be very useful to process standards harmonized at European level concerning, inter alia, methods for testing explosives;

The notified body must carry out the appropriate examinations and tests in order to check the conformity of the appliance to the requirements of this Directive by examination and testing of every appliance, as specified in point 5. 4, or by examination and testing of appliances on a statistical basis, as specified in point 5. 5, at the choice of the manufacturer.
