Download the EU IVDR General Safety and Performance Requirements

The IVDR (Regulation EU 2017/746), published in the EU Official Journal on May 5th, will have a significant impact on the manufacturers making IVDR products. 

IVDR EU Regulation 2017 746

The BSI Group calls the new risk classification in the IVDR  a “quantum leap” for products that could have been self-certified under the old directive to products soon needing notified body certification under the new regulation. Access to notified bodies has been identified as a major bottleneck in the years to come.

IVD companies targeting the European market should therefore move swiftly and resolutely if they desire to stay in business. Compiling the Technical File could be one such task.

The EU IVDR Annex I General Safety and Performance Requirements section corresponds to the Essential Requirements section in MDD Annex I.

If you want to check how your current Technical Files complies with these requirements, you can download our checklist here:
