Union legal acts in the transport sector already establish rules on emissions verification requirements, in particular Regulations (EU) 2015/757 and (EU) 2023/1805 for the maritime sector, and Directive 2003/87/EC for the aviation sector. To reduce administrative burdens, verifiers accredited under those acts should be deemed accredited under this Regulation to carry out verification activities in the relevant sector in which they operate, provided they inform the designated national authorities of their intention to carry out such activities also under this Regulation. Conformity assessment bodies should be independent and competent legal entities, accredited by national accreditation bodies established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 on the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies applies horizontally, including to verifiers accredited under Regulations (EU) 2015/757 and (EU) 2023/1805 and Directive 2003/87/EC and to conformity assessment bodies accredited under this Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 also covers situations where national accreditation bodies have the authority to take appropriate measures if a conformity assessment body is no longer competent to carry out a specific conformity assessment activity or if it has seriously breached its obligations.
