What it means

Conformity assessment is the systematic process of demonstrating that a product meets the applicable requirements. Depending on the risk class, this may involve self-assessment by the manufacturer, a type-examination, or the involvement of a Notified Body. The result is recorded in the technical documentation and forms the basis for the Declaration of Conformity.
