Abschnitt 2.1 - 2 Procedure
2.1 Submission of an Application
Tests, audits and certifications shall be requested in writing from the relevant Testing and Certification Body. Information about the documents to be attached is available at the Testing and Certification Body. The documents have to be written in the German language. Foreign documents have to be translated. The Testing and Certification Body may require that the translation be prepared by a publicly appointed and sworn, qualified translator.
As a matter of principle applications are processed within the framework of available capacities, in the sequence in which they are received.
The Applicant shall inform the Testing and Certification Body before conclusion of the contract if the product/system intended for testing/auditing was already the subject-matter of a comparable contract at a different GS Body or an appointed and/or notified office.
A contract shall be brought about by a contractual document signed by both sides.
