This new article introduces a requirement that notified bodies make best efforts to prioritise, as a matter of priority, requests for third-party assessment and verification of constancy of performance for construction products designated as crisis-relevant goods, regardless of whether the request was lodged before or after emergency procedures were activated.
The provision also states that this prioritisation must not result in additional disproportionate costs for the manufacturers who lodged the requests, and that notified bodies shall make reasonable efforts to increase their assessment and verification capacities for the relevant products.
