4. To fulfil its function, an accreditation board shall
(1) draw up, in accordance with the regulations of the Minister, a reference manual setting out the conditions for accreditation according to which the accreditation board will assess the applications for accreditation made by certification bodies;
(2) ensure that certification bodies comply with the requirements for the granting of certification and that they possess the necessary resources to carry out, in the manner set out in the reference manual, adequate supervision of the activities of their members as well as the inspection of the products certified;
(3) ensure that the members of the accredited certification bodies comply with the rules governing the use of reserved designations.
The accreditation board may institute proceedings against any person using a reserved designation for products that have not been certified by an accredited certification body. It may also impose a contribution to be paid by accredited certification bodies to cover its operating costs.
