When the title of a work brought to the mark to the guarantee service or the approved inspection body is found to be lower than the declared legal title, a new test may be carried out if the owner so requests.
When the new test confirms the result of the first, the work is, at the owner’s choice, either returned to the owner after being broken in his presence, or marked with the titre found during the test if it corresponds to one of the legal titres.
In all cases, the owner also has the option of exporting his works in accordance with the provisions of Article 545 (1).
