What is a notified body?

A notified body is an organisation which an EU country has given the authority to review the conformity of products before they are allowed to be sold. Certain directives, such as the Active Implantable Devices Directive (AIMD), require a notified body to review the documentation and ensure that the product does indeed fulfil the requirements of the directive.

NANDO

The European Commission has a list of notified bodies in a system called NANDO, New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations.
