We reported in the Supplement to the July issue of Weighlog on the situation regarding "self-verification" and the problems being experienced with the definition of "manufacturer". There have been no further developments since that report, though we have contacted the European Commission to see if they can either modify the Directive or publish guidance to ensure that the widest possible interpretation is given to the term. NWML tell us that no amendments can be made to the NAWI Regulations until the MID Implementation regulations are completed, but we will continue to remind them of the problem and make sure it stays high on their agenda.
In the meantime if you find that the new approach being adopted by the Notified Bodies is causing you difficulties or you want to give us examples of what problems this is causing you in your day to day business please contact the Secretariat. Your details will remain confidential, but the information you give us will help the cause. |
