CE Marking for Medical Devices

More specifically, medical devices, that fall under the European New Approach Directives (EU Directive 93/42/EEC and 98/79/EC) and regulations, must be CE certified.

CE-marking specifies that the product complies with stringent EU product safety directives. However, achieving CE marking compliance can be a complex and challenging process.

A detailed assessment needs to be carried out to ascertain which directive applies to a medical product. The EU regulations include 3 product groups for medical devices:

1. Medical Device (MD)
2. In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD)
3. Active Implantable Medical Device (AIMD)

Diverse categories and associated certification processes are applicable for each product. The very first step in the overall CE mark certification process for a particular product is to determine which the applicable category of regulations.
