A Notified Body is an organization designated by a government to assess the conformity of certain products before they can be marketed in the European Union. These bodies evaluate whether products meet specific safety and performance standards set by EU regulations. Notified Bodies play a crucial role in the CE marking process, which indicates that a product complies with EU legislation. They conduct tests, inspections, and audits to ensure that manufacturers adhere to the required guidelines, helping to protect consumers and maintain market integrity.
