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

The Commission investigates any case raising doubt about whether a notified body remains competent and continues to meet its requirements, and the notifying authority must supply relevant information on request, with sensitive material kept confidential. Where the Commission finds a body no longer qualifies, it asks the notifying Member State to take corrective steps, including suspension or withdrawal. If that State fails to act, the Commission may itself suspend, restrict or withdraw the designation by implementing act.
