Each of the experts shall sign the part of the conclusion (final opinion) that contains these examinations and shall be responsible for it.

The general finding(s) shall be made by the experts who are competent in evaluating the results obtained and formulating this (these) finding(s). If the final conclusion of the commission of experts or its part is based on the facts established by one of the experts (by individual experts), this shall be indicated in the conclusion.

In case of disagreement between the experts, each of them shall give a separate opinion on all or certain issues that caused disagreement.

If the production of a comprehensive expert examination is entrusted to a state forensic expert institution or a non-state forensic expert organization, then the organization of this examination is entrusted to its head.
