I think that the involvement of a competent body (now notified body)
will become no longer required under the new EMCD.
Manufacturers may ask the notified body AT THE DISCRETION OF THE
MANUFACTURER.
Please read Article 7, and (15) in the "whereas" section of the
Directive.
Another changes, already manufacturers may already do that, are:
- Manufacturers must draw up a technical documentation even if
harmonized standards are fully applied, and the technical
documentation and DoC must be held in the Community territory.
- Name and address of the manufacturer, and of the representative
in the Community if the manufacturer is not in the Community,
will become required.
