Article 43 runs the formal step: notifying authorities notify only bodies satisfying Article 39, notifying the Commission and the other Member States through the New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations information system managed by the Commission, with full details of the activities, modules and products concerned and the relevant attestation of competence. Where a notification is not based on an accreditation certificate, the notifying authority also provides documentary evidence of the body's competence and of the arrangements for monitoring it regularly. The body may act as a notified body only where neither the Commission nor the other Member States raise objections within two weeks of a notification based on an accreditation certificate, or within two months where accreditation is not used.
