This new provision sets out that notified bodies must give priority processing to conformity assessment applications for appliances and fittings designated as crisis-relevant goods, regardless of when those applications were lodged relative to activation of the emergency procedures.
It further states that this prioritisation must not cause additional disproportionate costs for manufacturers, and that notified bodies must make reasonable efforts to increase their testing capacities for the affected appliances and fittings.
