Article 38 Obligation des autorités notifiantes en matière d’information

Summary What does Article 38 of the CRA regulation say?

This is a short transparency and information-sharing article that sits within the broader framework governing notified bodies.

Building on the requirements established for notifying authorities in the surrounding articles, it creates a two-way flow of information: Member States must keep the Commission informed of their national procedures, and the Commission in turn must make that information publicly available.

Important points:

Member States are required to inform the Commission of their procedures for assessing, notifying, and monitoring conformity assessment bodies, including any changes to those procedures.
The Commission is required to make this information publicly available.
This article supports the broader oversight structure by ensuring transparency across Member States regarding how they manage and supervise notified bodies.
