Article 12 Certification of eFTI platforms

Upon application by an eFTI platform developer, a conformity assessment body shall assess the compliance of the eFTI platform with the requirements laid down in Article 9(1). In the case of a positive assessment, the conformity assessment body shall issue a compliance certificate for that eFTI platform. In the case of a negative assessment, the conformity assessment body shall provide the reasons for the negative assessment to the applicant.

Each conformity assessment body shall maintain an up-to-date list of the eFTI platforms that it has certified and for which it has withdrawn or suspended certification. It shall make that list publicly available on its website and shall communicate the address of that website to the designated national authority referred to in Article 11(3).

Information made available to competent authorities by means of a certified eFTI platform shall be accompanied by a certification mark.

The eFTI platform developer shall apply for a reassessment of its certification if the technical specifications laid down in the implementing acts referred to in Article 9(2) are revised.

The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 14 to supplement this Regulation by laying down rules on the certification of eFTI platforms and on the use of the certification mark, including rules on the renewal, suspension and withdrawal of certification.
