In the case of machinery, the manufacturer or importer asks the notified body which issued an EC type-examination certificate to re-examine the validity of this certificate every five years.
If the notified body, after carrying out the necessary examinations, considers that the certificate is still valid in the light of the state of the art, it will renew it for a period of five years.
Decisions to renew or refuse to renew an EC type-examination certificate may be the subject of a complaint under the conditions laid down in article R. 4313-35.
The full quality assurance procedure is that by which a notified body assesses, approves and monitors the application of the quality system of a machinery manufacturer.

When assessing the quality system, the notified body shall consider that the elements of the quality system which comply with the relevant harmonized standard satisfy the corresponding requirements of Article R. 4313-45.
For the assessment of the quality system of a machinery manufacturer, the notified body relies on a team of auditors which includes at least one member experienced in the assessment of machinery technology. This team examines the technical file provided for in Article R. 4313-6. The assessment procedure includes an inspection visit to the manufacturer’s premises.
After assessing the system, the body shall notify its decision to approve or reject the quality system. The notified body’s decision may be the subject of a complaint under the conditions laid down in Article R. 4313-35.
The notified body shall examine the proposed modifications and decide whether it continues to meet the provisions of Article R. 4313-45. The decision is notified and may be the subject of a complaint under the conditions laid down in Article R. 4313-35.
