If you are a manufacturer, importer, exporter, distributor or repairer of weapons, if you want to place those weapons on the market, and if the weapon no longer bears a valid test mark. If you hold a firearms license, the obligation applies to you if you want to use the weapon or allow someone else to use it, unless the weapon bears a valid test mark.
Service outcome
The result of proof testing is (if the conditions for marking the submitted specified weapon are met) a test mark proving that the specific specified firearm complies with the technical requirements, and the issuing of a proof testing report.
Service benefit
If the weapon is proof tested, you can place the weapon on the market, which means any provision, or offer to provide, without consideration or for consideration, such controlled product for distribution or use, or the transfer of ownership of controlled products by a manufacturer, importer, distributor or repairer in the Czech Republic. If you hold a firearms licence, you can use the weapon or allow another person to use it.
