What are notified bodies?
Notified bodies are private or public entities that examine products to ensure that they comply with the CRA. Their competence is assessed by notifying authorities of Member States and the list is available on the NANDO system.
Notified bodies have to be independent vis-Ă -vis the manufacturers and the market surveillance authorities, to avoid any conflict of interest.
