Notyfikowane

Notyfikowane is a Polish adjective formed from the verb notyfikować, meaning to notify or inform officially. In formal language it describes something that has been officially communicated or designated by a competent authority. Common phrases include instytucje notyfikowane (notified bodies) and strony notyfikowane (notified parties).

In administrative and legal contexts, notyfikowane can refer to persons or entities that have received a formal notification, as well as to entities that have been designated to perform tasks following notification. The term is often used to indicate status conferred by a public authority, rather than a general notice.

In the realm of European Union law, notyfikowane bodies are organizations designated by a member state to conduct conformity assessment for products before they can be marketed under EU directives. Notified bodies are listed in the EU’s NANDO database (Notified and Designated Organisations). They assess aspects such as product safety, performance, and compliance with directives for CE marking, covering areas like medical devices, construction products, toys, and electrical equipment.

Linguistic notes: the form notyfikowane changes with gender and number (e.g., notyfikowany, notyfikowana, notyfikowane). The usage reflects formal notification by authorities, distinguishing notyfikacja from more general powiadomienie, which denotes informal or less official notice.
