Method for Designating Conformity Assessment Bodies

 

 

A conformity assessment body is a body that performs one or several elements of conformity assessment, including one or several of the following activities: calibration, testing, certification and inspection.

 

Accreditation of Conformity Assessment Body

Accreditation is made to guarantee the European conformity assessment system. Its designed to ensure that conformity assessment bodies have the technical capacities to perform their duties. Used in regulated sectors and voluntary areas, accreditation is used to increase trust in conformity assessment. It reinforces the mutual recognition of products, services, systems and bodies across the EU.

The accreditation of conformity assessment bodies is regulated at the European level by the  Regulation (EC) 765/2008 and in Malta by the LN 427.45. The National Accreditation Body in Malta is the National Accreditation Board - Malta (NAB - MALTA).

  

What is a Notified Body?

A Notified Body is a Conformity Assessment Body which has been officially designated by their national authority to carry out the procedures for conformity assessment within the meaning of applicable Union harmonisation legislation when a third party is required. The list of all notified Bodies as designated by each country can be found here.

Please find here the register of Conformity Assessment Bodies notified by the Technical Regulations Division (Notified Bodies).
