EC Directives
Where a directive requires products to be independently tested, inspected or certified, this must be undertaken by a body approved by a government of the community and notified to the European Commission. Notified bodies can be laboratories, certification bodies or inspection bodies. Bodies can be notified for all conformity assessment routes in the directive or for individual ones. The requirement of the routes will determine the type of organisation which is notified. For example, for a route which stipulates type-examination the notified body would normally be a test house or product certification body. For modules stipulating ISO 9001 approval the notified body would be a quality management system certification body.
