Article 51 completes the alignment machinery on the assessors' side: the Commission ensures coordination and cooperation between bodies notified under this Regulation, in the form of a cross-sectoral group of notified bodies, with Member States ensuring that the bodies they notify participate directly or via designated representatives.
The practical output
The cross-sectoral group is the forum in which assessment practice can converge between bodies. For manufacturers on third-party routes F-026, that convergence is what makes assessor choice a logistics decision rather than an interpretive gamble.
