Sweeps: coordinated checks across a product category at once.
LAW Official text — verbatim from the Official Journal snapshot; only the Official Journal is authentic.
1.1. Market surveillance authorities shall conduct simultaneous coordinated control actions (sweeps) of particular products with digital elements or categories thereof to check compliance with or to detect infringements to this Regulation. Those sweeps may include inspections of products with digital elements acquired under a cover identity.
2.2. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the market surveillance authorities involved, sweeps shall be coordinated by the Commission. The coordinator of the sweep shall, where appropriate, make the aggregated results publicly available.
3.3. Where, in the performance of its tasks, including based on the notifications received pursuant to Article 14(1) and (3), ENISA identifies categories of products with digital elements for which sweeps may be organised, it shall submit a proposal for a sweep to the coordinator referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article for the consideration of the market surveillance authorities.
4.4. When conducting sweeps, the market surveillance authorities involved may use the investigation powers set out in Articles 52 to 58 and any other powers conferred upon them by national law.
5.5. Market surveillance authorities may invite Commission officials, and other accompanying persons authorised by the Commission, to participate in sweeps.

Article 60 provides for sweeps — simultaneous coordinated control actions across particular product categories, checking compliance or detecting infringement, which may include inspections of products acquired under a cover identity.
Why sweeps change behaviour
A sweep checks a whole product or category at once, and the coordinator may, where appropriate, make the aggregated results public. ENISA may propose sweeps for categories it identifies, including from notifications received under Article 14 — being the counterexample in a swept category is an excellent, if unglamorous, compliance outcome.
