Medical Devices Directive (MDD)
The current Medical Devices Directive (MDD) has taken effect in 1993, and has been revised in 2010.
Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) - Medical Devices Directive (MDD)
Medical devices manufactured or traded in the EU must comply with EU legislation in the area of safety and health. This means they have to be conform to the pertaining product directives and must be CE marked.
A new European legislation, the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), will take effect per May 2020. The EU adopted the MDR following scandals caused by a number of medical device manufacturers.
For medical device manufacturers and Notified Bodies (NBs) the MDR is their number one concern and thus for Kiwa, as a Notified Body for medical devices. On this page we inform you about the MDD, the MDR and other important developments for the medical device industry regarding CE marking.
