Article 43b Prioritisation of the conformity assessment of subsystems and safety components designated as crisis-relevant goods 1. This Article applies to subsystems and safety components listed in the implementing act referred to in Article 43a(1) that are subject to the conformity assessment procedures referred to in Article 18 that require the mandatory involvement of a notified body. 2. The notified bodies shall make best efforts to process as a matter of priority all applications for a conformity assessment of subsystems and safety components referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, irrespective of whether those applications have been lodged before or after the activation of the emergency procedures pursuant to Article 43a. 3. The prioritisation of applications for a conformity assessment of subsystems and safety components pursuant to paragraph 2 shall not result in additional disproportionate costs for the manufacturers who have lodged those applications. 4. The notified bodies shall make reasonable efforts to increase their testing capacities for subsystems and safety components referred to in paragraph 1 in respect of which they have been notified.
