The supervision of multi-site conformity assessment bodies is done under the cross-border cooperation among the national accreditation bodies and notifying authorities; however, the responsibility remains with the notifying authority of the Member State in which the conformity assessment body is established. The conformity assessment body as the main entity to be notified must have itself the means and the competence to carry out the tasks required for the notification. While it may have recourse to subsidiaries/subcontracting, it should not rely for all test and evaluations on subsidiaries/subcontractors (260).
