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