Implementation and involvement of Notified Bodies (NB) in new AVS 3 Different understanding by NB
1 Background
EuroWindoor members have learned that different Notified Bodies (NB) in different Member States (MS) have different understanding of the tasks of NB according to Annex IX No. 5, “System 3” of the new CPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/3110):
(b) The notified body shall decide on the issuing, restriction, suspension or withdrawal of the certificate of performance and of conformity of the product on the basis of:
(i) an assessment of the performance on the basis of testing performed by a notified testing laboratory (based on sampling carried out by the manufacturer), calculation, tabulated values or documentation describing the product;
(ii) confirmation that the product type and the product category were correctly determined.
When it comes to practical implementation, a very strict understanding of the task of NB could pose serious challenges, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the window and door industry.
