System 1: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(i), without audit-testing of samples.
System 3: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(ii), second possibility.
System 4: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(ii), third possibility.
The specification for the system should be such that it can be implemented even where performance does not need to be determined for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirement at all for such characteristic (see Article 2 (1) of the CPD and, where applicable, clause 1.2.3 of the Interpretative Documents). In those cases verification of such a characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.
