Annex VI or Annex VII?
Most high-risk systems self-assess under Annex VI. A notified body is the exception — and biometrics are the case that always requires one. This reads Article 43 and tells you which, with the provision cited.

Deterministic reading of Articles 5, 6, 43 and 50 against Annex III — not legal advice, and it does not perform a conformity assessment. It answers what it can decide from the statute and says so when a question is outside that. See what we measure.
What this is not. This is a keyword reading of Article 43 and Annex III — deterministic, auditable, and free. It identifies the route; it does not perform the conformity assessment, issue a declaration of conformity, or constitute legal advice. CSOAI holds no accreditation and cannot act as a notified body. Where this says one is required, you need an actual notified body.
