Updating data in the NANDO system and carrying out control activities of the ÚNMZ

In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and in view of the use of accreditation for authorisation/notification purposes and the procedures for notification/notification of conformity assessment bodies, the MOEW will provide the necessary flexibility in the event that the accreditation certificate evidencing the competence of authorised/notified persons, notified bodies and recognised independent organisations expires. In such a case, the MoEYS will not initiate the administrative procedure immediately and will consider updating the notification in the NANDO system by extending the validity of the notification/notification by 3 months, with the understanding that new supporting documents for the notification/notification including evidence of the updated certificate will be uploaded as soon as possible. Communication with the authorised/notified person, notified body and recognised independent organisation and timely provision of the necessary information to the NMHS is required to implement this procedure.
The plan for inspections of authorised/notified persons, notified bodies and recognised independent organisations has been adapted. Necessary inspections will be carried out by the Office for the Protection of Health and Safety at Work using written documentation and, where appropriate, by means of remote communication using telephone, e-mail, data mailbox and on-line communication software.
