My input on this issue:
. Notified Body = Appointed by authorities for testing / certification according to an EU directive . Accredited laboratory = Fulfil ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory Accreditation (criteria for laboratories to demonstrate the technical competence to carry out specific test methods) I assume that a Notified body must also be an Accredited laboratory, but not visa versa.

(You can, if you wish to, but there's no need to) If you can't or don't fully apply a harmonised standard, then you must go to a Notified Body for their opinion. Michael. Michael Derby Regulatory Engineer ACB Europe From: Scott Xe [mailto:scott...@gmail.com] Sent: 28 February 2012 16:08 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] R&TTE compliance test reports I notice that some compliance reports of R&TTE are reviewed by a notified body while some are issued by an accredited laboratory only. Can someone advise if they have different purposes or requirements.
