Art. 40
1 If a designated body ceases to carry out its conformity assessment activities, it shall inform Swissmedic and the manufacturers concerned as soon as possible. In the case of a planned cessation of activities, notice must be given one year before the activities cease. Swissmedic shall revoke the designation from the date on which the activities cease. 2 The certificates remain valid for a maximum of nine months following the cessation of activities, provided another designated body assumes responsibility for certifying the products concerned and confirms this in writing. 3 The designated body assuming responsibility in accordance with paragraph 2 shall conduct a full assessment of the products concerned before the nine-month period expires and before issuing new certificates for the products. |
