# Art. 47 — Operational obligations of notified bodies

CRA Article 47 — Operational obligations of notified bodies. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, Chapter IV — Notification of conformity assessment bodies.

1. Notified bodies shall carry out conformity assessments in accordance with the [conformity assessment](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/cra/conformity-assessment/) procedures provided for in [Article 32](/cra/chapter-iii-conformity-of-the-product-with-digital-elements-art.-27-34/32.md) and Annex VIII.
2. Conformity assessments shall be carried out in a proportionate manner, avoiding unnecessary burdens for economic operators. Conformity assessment bodies shall perform their activities taking due account of the size of undertakings, in particular as regards microenterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, the sector in which they operate, their structure, their degree of complexity and the [cybersecurity risk](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/cra/cybersecurity-risk/) level of the products with digital elements and technology in question and the mass or serial nature of the production process.
3. Notified bodies shall however respect the degree of rigour and the level of protection required for the compliance of products with digital elements with this Regulation.
4. Where a [notified body](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/cra/notified-body/) finds that the requirements set out in Annex I or in corresponding harmonised standards or common specifications as referred to in [Article 27](/cra/chapter-iii-conformity-of-the-product-with-digital-elements-art.-27-34/27.md) have not been met by a [manufacturer](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/cra/manufacturer/), it shall require that manufacturer to take appropriate corrective measures and shall not issue a certificate of conformity.
5. Where, in the course of the monitoring of conformity following the issuance of a certificate, a notified body finds that a [product with digital elements](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/cra/product-with-digital-elements/) no longer complies with the requirements laid down in this Regulation, it shall require the manufacturer to take appropriate corrective measures and shall suspend or withdraw the certificate if necessary.
6. Where corrective measures are not taken or do not have the required effect, the notified body shall restrict, suspend or withdraw any certificates, as appropriate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/cra/chapter-iv-notification-of-conformity-assessment-bodies-art.-35-51/47.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
