Complete list of IVDR certified Notified Bodies

For the verification of the essential requirements for in vitro diagnostic medical devices, manufacturers must follow the IVDR as well as its conformity assessment procedures. For this purpose, Notified Bodies must be involved with the exception of IVDs in Class A. Notified Bodies are government-appointed testing bodies that perform various tasks to verify the conformity of medical devices prior to market approval. Devices that successfully pass the conformity assessment procedure of a Notified Body receive a CE marking. According to TÜV Süd, an estimated 90 percent of all IVDs will have to be tested by a Notified Body in the future, compared to less than 15 percent of IVDs currently.

What do Notified Bodies do?

Manufacturers can contact a body of their choice for the required conformity assessment procedure, and this Notified Body then accompanies and controls this process in accordance with the relevant directives. Components of the work of Notified Bodies include inspection and testing of the product itself, the manufacturing environment, and the associated processes. In doing so, Notified Bodies are subject to the obligation to act transparently, independently, impartially and fairly when carrying out the assessment.

On the NANDO website (“New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations”), the EU Commission maintains a list of all IVDR- and MDR-certified Notified Bodies. A current overview of all Notified Bodies in the NANDO database for IVDR certification can be found here. This list will be continuously updated as more Notified Bodies are added.
