It is the authoritative register of which organisations are notified and for which tasks. It is a database, not a service.	Nature of the source: The earlier New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations information system of the European Commission. Its lists show identification numbers and the tasks each body is notified for, organised by legislation.	Nature of the source: A regulatory consultancy, not a register. Its notified body support service helps select a notified body and prepares MDR and IVDR audit applications.	Nature of the source: A consultancy part of the QbD Group, focused on regulatory affairs and quality systems for in vitro diagnostics and medical devices. It is not a register of notified bodies.
Status: Current system. According to a Czech notifying authority, NANDO and the Noise database were merged into SMCS, and notifications are now entered through SMCS Input.	Status: Merged into SMCS at Commission level. The Commission page on notified bodies still describes NANDO as the place where lists are published, so the NANDO name may remain in use for the lists.

Data content and scope: Identification number, designation, and the scope of accreditation per body. The scope matters because a body is only notified for certain tests, standards or products, so a name alone is not enough.	Data content and scope: Bodies designated by EU and EFTA countries and by countries with mutual recognition agreements or PECA protocols, listed per directive or regulation.	Data content and scope: Selects notified bodies according to product type, accredited scope and experience, and states which bodies hold MDR designation. A full public list is not given on the service page.	Data content and scope: Documentation and consulting: CE marking, technical documentation, performance studies, authorised representative and PRRC services. Notified body information is not offered on the home page.
Cost and access: Free public search. Always check this source directly rather than copies on other sites, which may be outdated.	Cost and access: Free public lists.	Cost and access: Paid consulting, priced per project. No prices are shown on the service page.
When to choose it: Choose it to verify that a body is still notified and for exactly which scope before signing a conformity assessment contract.	When to choose it: Choose it only when an older link or document points to it and the content needs to be matched with the SMCS entry.	When to choose it: Choose it when a manufacturer needs help to select and approach a notified body and to prepare the application.	When to choose it: Choose it for IVD regulatory documentation and representation tasks rather than for body verification.
