Article 40 of the CPR requires each Member State to designate a notifying authority that shall be responsible for setting up and carrying out the necessary procedures for the assessment and notification of the bodies to be authorised to carry out third-party tasks in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP) for the purposes of the CPR, and for the monitoring of notified bodies, including their compliance with the provisions of Article 43.
In the case of Ireland, this department is the designated notifying authority under the CPR.
An application for notified body status should be made to this department in accordance with the Irish notification procedures for the purposes of the Construction Products Regulation (305/2011).
The Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) undertakes accreditation and monitoring of notified bodies in Ireland. Bodies seeking to be notified for the purpose of the CPR should first apply to the INAB for the accreditation relevant to the services they wish to provide.
