Artikel 48 Einspruch gegen Entscheidungen notifizierter Stellen

Summary What does Article 48 of the CRA regulation say?

This is an unusually brief article that establishes a basic procedural safeguard: manufacturers and other affected parties must have access to an appeal mechanism against decisions made by notified bodies.

Notified bodies are the conformity assessment organisations designated under Article 43 to evaluate whether products with digital elements meet the regulation's cybersecurity requirements.

This article ensures that their decisions are not final and uncontestable.

Important points:

Member States are required to ensure that an appeal procedure against notified body decisions is available.
The obligation rests with Member States to put this mechanism in place, not with the notified bodies themselves.
This article acts as a safeguard directly connected to the role of notified bodies established under Article 43.
