1. Member States shall establish or appoint their own approval authorities and market
surveillance authorities. Member States shall notify the Commission of the establishment
and appointment of those authorities.
That notification shall include the name of those authorities, their address, including
their electronic address, and their areas of responsibility. The Commission shall publish
on its website a list and contact details of the approval authorities and the market

function independently from each other. Those authorities may be within the same
organisation provided that their activities are managed autonomously as part of separate
structures.
