AI Notified Body

An AI Notified Body is a third-party organization designated by an EU member state to perform conformity assessments for certain high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act. Notified Bodies must demonstrate technical competence, independence, impartiality, and accountability — and are themselves accredited and supervised by national accreditation bodies. They examine AI providers' documentation and processes, verify technical conformity, and issue certificates that allow CE Marking and EU market access. The role parallels Notified Bodies in other EU product-safety regimes (medical devices, machinery). The first AI Notified Bodies are being designated by EU member states in 2025-2026 as the high-risk provisions of the EU AI Act phase into enforcement. AI governance, AI compliance, and AI risk management programs serving EU markets must plan for Notified Body interactions on relevant high-risk AI systems — making mature responsible AI documentation infrastructure essential to enterprise AI deployments at scale across EU markets and beyond.
