The control by inspection of the numerical characteristics subject to declaration of a commercial event is carried out by a third party body independent of the parties involved, accredited for this purpose by the Comité français d’accréditation (COFRAC) or by any other body that is a member of the European cooperation for accreditation and has signed the multilateral mutual recognition agreements.
The accredited body carries out the operations defined in Annex XIII of Appendix 7-10 “Main operations for the control of the quantified characteristics of commercial events” of this book.
The calculations are carried out in accordance with standards NF ISO 25639-1 of January 2009 “Terminology of the trade fair, exhibition, congress or commercial event sector.-Part 1: vocabulary” and NF ISO 25639-2 of January 2009 “Terminology of the trade fair, exhibition, congress or commercial event sector.-Part 2: counting methods for statistical purposes or recognised equivalent specifications”.
The accreditation requirement does not apply to park operators when they carry out checks on quantified characteristics as part of the derogation provided for in Article A. 762-3 of the French Commercial Code.
