Should I apply additional criteria (e.g. quantitative risk estimation) to risks controlled by means of code of practice or reference system?

In general, no, assuming that application of the code of practice reduces the risk to an acceptable level. Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 402/2013 provides further information about the conditions under which these risk acceptance criteria can be used without requesting other safety demonstration such as an explicit risk estimation (e.g. by means of a quantitative or semi-quantitative approach).
