Notified bodies

The procedure of notification of bodies for carrying out third party tasks in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance is carried out by a notification body. In the field of construction products the notifying authority is the Sector for Construction, Directorate for Construction, Housing and Municipal Economy of the Ministry for Construction and Physical Planning.

The application for verification of its compliance with the requirements laid down in Article 43 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 and for notification to the European Commission is submitted to the Ministry, which is the designated notifying authority.

Notification is a procedure by which the notifying authority informs the European Commission and the Member States of the bodies carrying out third party tasks in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance of construction products.

A Notified Body is a body notified to the European Commission and the Member States and to which the European Commission assigns a four-digit identification number.

The European Commission shall confirm the submitted notification within the period stipulated in Article 48 paragraph 5 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. Since notification is based on accreditation, it is stipulated that notification shall be confirmed within 2 weeks of notification, unless objections are raised by the Commission or the other Member States.

When the notification has been confirmed by the European Commission, the applicant may initiate with carrying out the tasks of a notified body for the product area according to the issued decision. When an applicant submits its application for the first time, the European Commission shall assign a four-digit identification number to that applicant. 

Access to the register of notified bodies is possible from the NANDO database website, whereas the list of Croatian notified bodies can be accessed from the Ministry's website.
