Article 29 — Application of a conformity assessment body for notification

A conformity assessment body wanting to certify high-risk AI systems applies to the notifying authority in the Member State where it is established, describing the activities and system types it claims competence for. An accreditation certificate from a national accreditation body normally backs the application. Where no such certificate exists, the body must instead supply full documentary evidence of compliance, and it must keep this material updated whenever relevant changes occur.
