Footnotes

(1): It is expected that a review will also be performed every time the conformity assessment body competence criteria are upgraded.

(2): To be indicated in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, taking into account the supporting documentation provided by the person.

(3): Additional roles defined by the applicant CAB should be added to this table.

(4): In case the number of QMS audits or technical file reviews carried out are part of the competence criteria established by the notified body (e.g. minimum 40 hours CE certification audit) a reference should be provided to the specific manufacturer, role performed by the expert and relevant codes involved. When the experience has been acquired internally, the notified body should make the relevant log available upon request. When acquired externally statements / logs from the former employers should be made available.

(5): It is expected that this information will always be given except in the case of self-training.

(6): As many lines as roles included in the scope of authorisation of the person should be included as per the example given for code IVR 0101.

(7): When a product reviewer is authorised only for a specific non –code related area, or in case the person’s authorisation is limited to a specific area (e.g. clinical experts) such area should also be indicated in this column.
