A Notified Body is a conformity assessment body that has been officially designated by the respective national authorities to carry out the conformity assessment procedures pursuant to the applicable Union harmonization legislation when third party intervention is required.
For some Directives, the European Union has considered that the manufacturer may have the possibility to contact a third party for the evaluation of its technical files. In some cases, European Directives require the mandatory intervention of a Notified Body.
The designation of a Notified Body takes place in two phases:
In the first, the National Accreditation Body (in Italy, Accredia) accredits the institution through a harmonized reference standard (in Italy EN 17065).
In the second, the National Authorities authorizes the Body and notifies the European Commission of the name.
CELAB srl is Notified Body No. 2037 for the Directive 2014/30/EU EMC – (National Authority authorization)
CELAB Srl is Italian office of CELAB Ltd, Notified Body No. 2559 for the Directive 2014/53/EU RED.
Only certificates issued as a notified body have legal force and can be used in law areas.
Voluntary Certificates do not report the number of the body and they are not released with those purposes.
For each Directive are set specific work limits, see in detail the activities of Notified Body for each of those listed.
