Description of content: The proposed technical regulations - obligatory
certification of specified products - Decrees Nos. 81, 82, 84, 85, 87,
88, 90, 91/1994 of the UMNS SR of 1 December 1994 ``Obligatory
Certification'' state the examining of mechanical, fire and electrical
safety, hygienic irreproachability, health and environmental
protection, safety at work and energy saving and subsequent
certification of conformity of these products to the specified
technical standards and legislative regulations. 7. Objective and
rationale: The reason for introducing the obligatory testing instead of
current obligatory products type approval is to harmonize the
conformity certification system valid in the countries of EU and EFTA
(according to so called ``Global Approach to Certification and
Testing'' of 13 June 1989). The aim of introducing these regulations is
to reach full compatibility of the procedure for the conformity
certification of products in accordance with the EU directives, which
subsequently will ensure the mutual recognition of certificates. 8.
Relevant documents: (a) Previous documents: - Act No. 30/1968 Zb. on
state testing in tenor to subsequent regulations; - FUNM Decree No.
101/1988 on products certification. (b) International documents: -
European Commission's document No. 89/C267/03 of 15 June 1989 ``Global
Approach to Certification and Testing Qualitative Measures for

procedures which are intended to be used in the technical
harmonization directives. - EU Council Directive No. 90/396/EEC on the
approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to appliances
burning gaseous fuels. - EU Council Directive No. 92/42/EEC on
