25.01.2018 THE RED DIRECTIVE34

A notified body is an organization designated by an

EU country to assess the conformity of certain

products before being placed on the market.

What is a Notified Body?

25.01.2018 THE RED DIRECTIVE35

Challenges

• Standards not yet listed as harmonized in OJ, but the

most common ones are now listed.

• Limited amount of harmonized standards in OJ

• 156 standards (15.12.2017)

• Not possible to use Module A due to missing harmonized

standards

• R&TTE standards do not give presumption of conformity

to RED automatically

• When there are no RED standards available, manufacturers

can use alternative conformity assessment procedures

through a Notified Body for their assessment.

• R&TTE standards

• Draft RED standards

• Other alternative conformity procedures

• When referring to R&TTE standards or draft RED standards

in the EU-Type Examination Certificate, the Commission

has recommended to put an expiry date on the certificate.

Time of urgency, how to act?
