MDR (EU) 2017/745 (CE Marking for Medical Devices)

Certification for Medical Devices in the EU Market

As of May 26, 2021, the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) (EU) 2017/745 has heralded a new era for medical device companies operating within the European Economic Area (EEA). This regulation has replaced both the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive 90/385/EEC (AIMDD). With an unwavering focus on patient safety and product efficacy, the MDR establishes rigorous standards and conformity assessment procedures that companies must adhere to before bringing their devices to market in the EEA.
