8 The tests and inspection are carried out according to a procedure agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser. This agreement may cover for example specifications on: the characteristics or manufacturing parameters to be tested or inspected; the condition of the products at the time of testing and inspection; the assessment of the test results (frequently statistical assessments); the right of the purchaser to verify the proper carrying out of the tests and non-specific inspection and testinginspection and testing carried out by the manufacturer in accordance with his own procedures, to assess whether products made by the same manufacturing process meet the requirements of the order.

9 The products inspected and tested may not necessarily be the products actually specific inspection and testinginspection and testing carried out, before delivery, according to the technical requirements of the order, on the products to be supplied or on test units of which the product supplied is part, in order to verify whether these products comply with the requirements of the order1) Until their transformation as EUROPEAN standards , the indicated EURONORM, or their national corresponding STANDARD , may be :19934 BSI inspection representative(s)one or more individual(s) who is/are either:a) the inspector(s) designated in the official regulations;b) the manufacturer s authorized representative(s), who is hierarchically independent of the production process, acting on behalf of the purchaser;c) the purchaser s authorized representative(s).
