§97 通知

The bodies responsible for undertaking the work referred to in Article 13 of the Directive 2014/34/EU must be notified by the Member State under whose jurisdiction they fall, on their own responsibility, to the European Commission and the other Member States of the EU. This notification also includes the relevant scope of competence for which that body has been assessed as technically competent to certify against the essential health and safety requirements as shown in the Directive. For the EU Member States, this responsibility of notification involves the obligation to ensure that the notified bodies permanently maintain the technical competence required by Directive 2014/34/EU and that they keep their notifying authorities informed on the performance of their tasks.

Therefore, an EU Member State, which does not have a technically competent body under its jurisdiction to notify, is not required to make such a notification. This means that an EU Member State which does not have such a body is not required to create one if it does not feel the need to do so. A manufacturer always has the choice of contacting any body with the appropriate scope of technical competence, which has been notified by a Member State.

On their own responsibility, Member States reserve the right not to notify a body and to remove an appointment. In the latter circumstance the relevant Member State shall inform the Commission and all other Member States.
