These bodies carry out tasks related to conformity assessment procedures set out in the applicable legislation, when a third party is required. The European Commission publishes a list of such notified bodies.
Manufacturers are free to choose any notified body that has been legally designated to carry out the conformity assessment procedure.
The competence of the notified body should be subject to verification carried out at regular intervals and following the practice established by the accreditation organisations.
