Article 30

Notification procedure

1.   Notifying authorities may notify only conformity assessment bodies which have satisfied the requirements laid down in Article 31.

2.   Notifying authorities shall notify the Commission and the other Member States, using the electronic notification tool developed and managed by the Commission, of each conformity assessment body referred to in paragraph 1.

3.   The notification referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall include full details of the conformity assessment activities, the conformity assessment module or modules, the types of AI systems concerned, and the relevant attestation of competence. Where a notification is not based on an accreditation certificate as referred to in Article 29(2), the notifying authority shall provide the Commission and the other Member States with documentary evidence which attests to the competence of the conformity assessment body and to the arrangements in place to ensure that that body will be monitored regularly and will continue to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 31.

4.   The conformity assessment body concerned may perform the activities of a notified body only where no objections are raised by the Commission or the other Member States within two weeks of a notification by a notifying authority where it includes an accreditation certificate referred to in Article 29(2), or within two months of a notification by the notifying authority where it includes documentary evidence referred to in Article 29(3).

5.   Where objections are raised, the Commission shall, without delay, enter into consultations with the relevant Member States and the conformity assessment body. In view thereof, the Commission shall decide whether the authorisation is justified. The Commission shall address its decision to the Member State concerned and to the relevant conformity assessment body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conformity assessment bodies evaluate and confirm that AI systems comply with the regulatory standards outlined in the AI Act; under Article 30, these bodies must first meet specific requirements, get notified through proper channels, and only begin assessments after clearance from the European Commission and other EU Member States.
Under Article 30, notifying authorities must use an electronic system managed by the European Commission to inform the Commission and other EU Member States about conformity assessment bodies, providing details about their activities, expertise, and evidence of accreditation or documented proof of competence before these bodies can operate.
If objections are raised about a conformity assessment body, the European Commission must quickly consult with affected Member States and the assessment body itself to review concerns; afterwards, the Commission decides whether the authorisation is valid and communicates their decision clearly to all parties involved in the procedure.
When notifying a conformity assessment body, authorities must provide detailed information including the types of AI systems the body evaluates, the specific assessment methods it uses, proof of its competence, and either its accreditation certificate or documentary evidence demonstrating that regular monitoring and compliance checks are securely established.
