PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY — ORIGINAL INTERPRETATION, NOT THE OFFICIAL TEXT

Each Member State must designate or set up at least one notifying authority to assess, appoint, and monitor the bodies that carry out conformity assessment. A national accreditation body may take on this role. The authority must stay free of conflicts of interest, keep its decisions objective, and separate those who assess a body from those who decide on its notification. It may not sell assessment or consultancy services, must protect confidential information, and needs enough qualified staff.
