Third-party and sectoral routes

Check when a notified body is required.

For relevant Annex I products, integrate applicable sectoral assessment.

In the workplace

A familiar audit firm is not automatically a notified body for this system. Verify the legal route, designation and scope before commissioning work.

Remember this

Confirm the body's designation and relevant scope.

The workplace case
YOUR CASE / QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND CONFORMITY

A provider plans to launch a high-risk recruitment-ranking system covered by Annex III point 4. The sales team presents an ISO/IEC 42001 certificate as sufficient proof of product conformity. The release folder lacks a signed declaration and a clear registration owner. A new model update changes ranking behaviour shortly before launch.

Quick reference / five key ideas
Third-party and sectoral routes
Confirm the body's designation and relevant scope.
Declaration and CE marking
Keep the declaration and evidence current and accessible as required.
Registration responsibilities
Update records when relevant changes require it.
Substantial modification
Apply reassessment where the legal criteria require it.
Release gates and honest claims
Keep commercial claims within the actual scope of assessment.
