Learn the key steps to ensure compliance, avoid common pitfalls, and successfully navigate the transition process
As of April 2022:
90% of currently valid AIMD/MDD certificates were set to expire in 2023.
50% of resubmitted applications were deemed incomplete.
30 notified bodies are designated under MDR, managing 80% of current AIMD/MDD certificates.
Despite the extension recently approved by the European Commission, the transition to the EU MDR is a complex and ongoing process that requires careful attention to detail and a commitment to ongoing compliance. Manufacturers should work closely with notified bodies and other regulatory experts to ensure that they understand the new requirements and have a plan in place to meet them. Failure to comply with the EU MDR can result in an inability to market devices in the European Union.
