169. Periodic assessment of certified products, where provided for by the certification scheme, shall be carried out by the certification body that performed the certification of the products. Periodic assessment of certified products may be scheduled or unscheduled and ensures that information on the certified products is obtained in the form of results of studies (tests) and measurements and of analysis of the state of production of the products (by decision of the certification body), in order to establish that the products continue to comply with the requirements of this Technical Regulation confirmed during certification.

170. The certification body shall carry out periodic assessment of certified products during the validity period of the certificate of conformity no more often than 1 time per year according to a schedule drawn up by the certification body.

The frequency of subsequent periodic assessments may be established in the reports on periodic assessment.

173. Unscheduled periodic assessment of certified products shall be carried out in the following cases:

а) where there is information (supporting documents) on complaints concerning the safety of the products.

Such information may be received from consumers, as well as from authorities exercising state control (supervision) over the safety of products for which a certificate of conformity has been issued. The scope of work during unscheduled periodic assessment of products is determined by the need to verify the technological processes associated with the identified deficiencies in ensuring product safety;

б) if the manufacturer does not produce the certified products for a period exceeding 1 calendar year.

In this case, the products may be placed on the market in the customs territory of the Union only after unscheduled periodic assessment has been carried out.

174. Periodic assessment of certified products includes:

а) analysis of the materials obtained during certification of the products;

б) analysis of incoming information on the certified products (including analysis of the results of supervised operation, if provided for);

In the report on periodic assessment of certified products, on the basis of the results of the work performed in accordance with paragraph 174 of this Technical Regulation, a conclusion shall be made on the conformity of the products with the requirements of this Technical Regulation, the stability of their fulfilment and the possibility of maintaining the issued certificate of conformity, or on the suspension (termination) of the validity of the certificate of conformity; the report may also specify the time limit for the next periodic assessment, the scope (certification indicators) of testing and the number of samples for studies (tests) and measurements during the next periodic assessment of certified products.

177. The time limit for submitting the results of studies (tests) and measurements of product samples selected during periodic assessment of certified products shall be established by the certification body, taking into account the scope of the studies (tests) and measurements.

178. Where samples of certified products are not available during the period of periodic assessment of certified products and (or) cannot be selected for studies (tests) and measurements (of which the applicant officially informs the certification body), the check shall be carried out in accordance with paragraph 174 of this Technical Regulation, with the exception of selection and identification of the product samples received for testing, performance of studies (tests) and measurements of the samples, and analysis of the results obtained.

When production of the certified products is resumed, the applicant shall inform the certification body that sampling of the products, their identification and research (testing) and measurements in an accredited testing laboratory (centre) can be carried out. In such a case, further work shall be carried out taking into account the work already performed and in accordance with subparagraph "б" of paragraph 173 of this Technical Regulation.

179. If the results of research (testing) and measurements are not available within 6 months from the date of the analysis of the state of production of the products in accordance with subparagraph "е" of paragraph 174 of this Technical Regulation, the certificate of conformity shall be suspended.

180. The certificate of conformity may be reinstated after research (testing) and measurements of samples have been carried out in an accredited testing laboratory (centre) and the results obtained have been analysed, provided that no more than 12 months have passed since the analysis of the state of production of the products in accordance with subparagraph "е" of paragraph 174 of this Technical Regulation. After 12 months have elapsed from the date of the analysis of the state of production of the products in accordance with subparagraph "е" of paragraph 174 of this Technical Regulation, the certificate of conformity may be reinstated only after an analysis of the state of production of the products has been carried out and the results of research (testing) and measurements have been submitted, while maintaining the established frequency of periodic assessment of the certified products.

181. Based on the results of the periodic assessment of the certified products, one of the following decisions may be taken:

The act of acceptance into operation of high-speed railway transport infrastructure facilities shall be signed by all members of the acceptance commission, each of whom bears responsibility for the decisions taken by the commission within the limits of their competence. If individual members of the acceptance commission refuse to sign the act, they shall submit to the chairperson of the commission the conclusions of the relevant bodies they represent, setting out their comments on matters within their competence.

The said comments shall be resolved with the participation of the bodies that issued the conclusion.

High-speed railway transport infrastructure facilities in respect of which such comments have not been resolved within the time limit established for the work of the acceptance commission shall be declared by the acceptance commission as not ready for commissioning.

193. The commissioning of high-speed railway transport infrastructure facilities without completion of the works on environmental protection, restoration of the natural environment, land reclamation and landscaping provided for by the design documentation in accordance with the legislation of the Member States is prohibited.
