The harmonised standards of the EN ISO/IEC 17000 series that can be used to demonstrate the competence of the candidate notified body may vary depending on the specific conformity assessment tasks (modules) and the different products in Union harmonisation legislation. In order to ensure harmonisation of the assessment of competence of candidate notified bodies, the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA) has developed a recommendation on standards for accreditation for each relevant Union harmonisation legislation and for each conformity assessment module (261). It is intended to apply to all National Accreditation Bodies that assess and accredit conformity assessment bodies for notification purposes, unless the notifying and/or regulating authority - at its own discretion - has officially established and published different requirements.
