Article 35 opens the chapter that builds the third-party assessment system: Member States notify the Commission and each other of the bodies authorised to perform conformity assessment under this Regulation. Notification is the step by which an authorised conformity assessment body becomes a notified body; accreditation is one way, not the only way, to evidence its competence.
Why the chapter matters now
The system is under construction — designation is in progress, Article 35(2) has Member States strive to ensure enough notified bodies in the Union by December 2026 to avoid bottlenecks to market entry, and the Commission targets sufficient capacity by December 2026 on a best-efforts basis F-037. Articles 35 through 51 are the rulebook for that construction: who notifies, what competence looks like, how disputes are handled. For most manufacturers the chapter is background; for anyone whose assessment route runs through a notified body, its output — the list of designated bodies — is a launch dependency F-037.
