Vic BABT do not insist on an ISO9002 Registered system. Either an Annex II Product Check Agreement or an Annex III (ISO9002) Production Quality Assurance Agreement must also be in place in addition to the Annex I Type Examination which is exactly what the Directive asks for. This also applies to national UK approvals as well as pan-European approvals. The BABT340 (Annex III) scheme was operating years before the TTE Directive was even thought of, and as a consequence BABT have hundreds (probably thousands) of manufacturing facilities listed under this scheme. The upshot of this is that the majority of approvals issued by BABT use Annex I + Annex III rather than Annex I + Annex II.
