Most medical device manufacturers seeking to sell their products in the European Union (EU) must work with Notified Bodies in the process. A Notified Body is an organisation appointed by an EU country to check the conformity of products before being placed on the market. After successfully completing a conformity assessment procedure, conformity is then made visible by a CE mark on the medical device.
What is the role of a Notified Body?
The Notified Bodies’ primary task in this process is to provide the conformity assessment services according to the relevant directives, thereby taking into account all the relevant guidance documents and standards. This can include the inspection and examination of the product itself, its design and the manufacturing environment and processes associated with it. For this assessment, the Notified Body must operate in a non-discriminatory, transparent, independent and impartial manner.
The European Commission keeps a list of Notified Bodies by EU countries on the NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated Organizations) website. The following offers an overview of all current Notified Bodies listed in the online database which are already MDR certified. This list will be updated on an ongoing basis as more Notified Bodies are approved for the EU MDR.
