Notified body
A notified body is an independent body appointed by an agency within one of the European countries, usually governmental, as being capable of performing the duties of a notified body as defined by the directives.
The primary role of a notified body is to provide services for conformity assessment. This means assessing the manufacturer’s conformity to the essential requirements listed in each directive.
Notification is an act whereby a member state informs the Commission and the other member states that a body, which fulfils the relevant requirements, has been designated to carry out conformity assessment according to a directive. Notification of notified bodies and their withdrawal are the responsibility of the notifying member state.
DNV is a notified body for 11 directives.
