33、this standard if it satisfies all the following conditions: a) ultrasonic instrument and probe comply with the technical requirements of this European Standard; b) either a declaration of conformity, issued by an organisation certified in accordance with EN ISO 9001; or a certificate issued by an or
34、ganization accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17050-1 and EN ISO/IEC 17050-2, or a test report issued by an organisation performing in-house calibration; c) ultrasonic instrument and probe are clearly marked to identify the manufacturer, type and series, and carries a unique serial number; d) user i
35、nstruction manual for the particular type and series of the ultrasonic equipment is available; e) manufacturers technical specification for the appropriate type and series of ultrasonic equipment which defines the performance criteria in accordance with this European Standard is available.
