Background

Implementing act on uniform application of the requirements for Notified Bodies (Annex VII) was published 4 May 2026 to address inconsistent interpretations of Annex VII by NBs, enhancing predictability, transparency, and consistency in conformity assessments.

The Act introduces maximum timelines for conformity assessments, such as technical documentation review and QMS audits, aiming to reduce delays in certification, including re-certification. Also, the act establishes uniform procedures for Notified Bodies regarding how they request information and provide cost estimates, aiming to reduce fragmentation and improve treatment for SMEs.
