Artikel 46 Ifrågasättande av de anmälda organens kompetens

Summary What does Article 46 of the CRA regulation say?

This article establishes the Commission's investigative oversight role over notified bodies — the conformity assessment bodies designated under Article 43 to verify that products with digital elements meet the regulation's cybersecurity requirements.

It sets out what happens when questions arise about whether a notified body is still fit for purpose, giving the Commission the authority to investigate and, where necessary, compel corrective action by the relevant Member State.

Important points:

The Commission is required to investigate any case where doubt arises about a notified body's competence or continued fulfilment of its obligations.
Notifying Member States are required to provide the Commission with all relevant information on request during such an investigation.
Where the Commission finds a notified body no longer meets the requirements, it must inform the notifying Member State and request corrective measures, up to and including de-notification.
