This is a newly inserted article setting out how notified bodies are to handle conformity assessments for machinery and related products designated as crisis-relevant goods.
It defines its own scope by reference to the list in the emergency implementing act and to the conformity assessment procedures requiring notified body involvement, directs notified bodies to prioritise related applications regardless of when they were lodged, states that such prioritisation must not create disproportionate additional costs for the manufacturers who lodged the applications, and calls for reasonable efforts to increase testing capacities.
