If an inspection body has no mechanism or methodology to be able to demonstrate that subcontractor is competent and clearly declares that it will not use subcontractors, can it be assumed that requirements of 6.3 are met?
In other words; is subcontracting an option for inspection bodies, which can be used or never used?

If the inspection body never subcontracts because it doesn’t want or because it is forbidden by law, the inspection body may have no mechanism or methodology for this.
An inspection body that is not going to subcontract doesn’t need to define a methodology to demonstrate that a subcontractor is competent.
