1. NSAI may at any stage verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility. Manufacturers shall allow NSAI access to the manufacturing, inspection, testing, storage, and distribution sites and shall provide all necessary information with regard to the quality management system documentation and records. NSAI may request a technical service to carry out these surveillance activities;
2. The frequency of these inspections will be based on a risk assessment carried out by NSAI and/or the minimum intervals specified by each (EC/EU) Directive/Regulation or UNECE Regulations;
