Background Data. The Annual Progress Report shall also include a table of anonymised models (per company A, B, etc.) showing how they qualify for the Voluntary Agreement but not including the number of products placed on the market. If a member or observer in the Steering Committee or a national market surveillance authority wants to verify the qualification of a product that falls under the Voluntary Agreement, the request has to be addressed to the Independent Inspector and the Signatory. Only the Independent Inspector shall provide the organisation with the qualification status of a model (yes/no) on a confidential basis within two weeks. Within four weeks of receiving the information, the organisation shall be required to inform both the Independent Inspector and the Signatory of the results of the verification. The Independent Inspector shall be required only to respond to requests for specific models and is not allowed to disclose lists on the qualification status of a Signatory’s product portfolio in regards of the commitments that products have to meet.
