A body seeking notification must be established under a Member State's law with legal personality, be a third party independent of the organisation or product it assesses, and keep its top management and assessment personnel out of designing, manufacturing, supplying, installing, buying, owning, using or maintaining the products it assesses, and out of consultancy or any activity that could compromise their independence; subsidiaries and subcontractors must not affect confidentiality, objectivity or impartiality. It must work with the highest professional integrity and competence, free of pressure and inducements; be able to perform every task for which it is notified with sufficient experienced personnel, transparent and reproducible procedures that separate notified body work from other activity, and procedures that take account of client size, sector, structure, technology complexity and production type; give assessment personnel sound training, knowledge of the requirements, Annex II, standards and legislation, adequate authority and the ability to write certificates and reports; pay top management and assessors in a way that does not depend on the number or results of assessments; hold liability insurance unless the State assumes liability; keep information secret except towards the competent authorities; and take part in, or keep informed of, standardisation and the notified body coordination group, applying its decisions as general guidance. A body that meets the relevant harmonised standards is presumed to meet these requirements to the extent the standards cover them.
