Article 50 Partage d’expérience

This is a notably brief article that places a coordination role on the Commission.

Its sole purpose is to ensure that national authorities across Member States, specifically those responsible for notification policy relating to conformity assessment bodies, have a structured forum to share experience with one another.

It sits within the broader chapter on notified bodies, complementing articles that govern how those bodies are assessed, designated, and monitored at the national level.

Important points:

• The Commission is required to organise an exchange of experience between Member States' national authorities responsible for notification policy.
• The obligation rests solely with the Commission; no direct obligations are placed on the national authorities themselves under this article.
• The article supports consistency across Member States in how notification policy is handled, feeding into the wider framework for overseeing conformity assessment bodies.
