These regulatory requirements and approval methods differ between countries and only in a few cases are these mutually recognised. For example, products must comply with EU Directives in the European Economic Area, the requirements of the MHRA in the UK, the FDA s requirements in the United States, Health Canada s requirements in Canada, JPAL regulations in Japan and TGA requirements in Australia. In addition to these markets, many important countries globally have their own regulatory systems for medical devices and managing these requirements is complex and time-consuming. Eurofins E E provides a single point of contact for the testing and certification of your medical devices, allowing you to access your chosen markets quickly, easily and cost-effectively. Medical Device Certification CE Marking Conformity assessment for EU Markets In Europe, the use of a Notified Body (NB) is required in the approval or certification process for medical devices. Our network of accredited laboratories and certification bodies offers a comprehensive range of testing and certification services for both active and non-active medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices in line with the requirements of the MDR (Medical Device Regulation) for EU markets. To assist you in placing your medical devices onto the EU market, Eurofins E E has a number of Notified Bodies (NB) that can provide conformity assessment to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745. Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 Our certification bodies in Finland (NB No. 0537) and Italy (NB No. 0477) are Notified Bodies under the MDR (2017/745) for both active and non-active medical devices.

For more information, talk to our team or contact our UK Medical Device Certification Team via EEinfoUK@eurofins.com Certification for the US Canada To access the United States (US) and Canadian markets, medical devices or equipment need to be certified to the specific requirements of those markets. For the US, this should be undertaken by a Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratory (NRTL) and for Canada, a Standards Council of Canadian (SCC) Certification Body. Eurofins E E North America is both an NRTL recognised by OSHA and an SCC Certification Body and can provide the MET NRTL mark to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of both of these bodies for medical devices. The Eurofins MET-certified products certification mark is universally accepted in both the US and Canada for medical equipment.
