Why do you need a Notified Body?
The services of a Notified Body must be contracted to perform a conformity assessment prior to market entry. The Notified Body will perform the conformity assessment based on an inspection of the company’s quality management system and assessment of the Technical Documentation for the device, based on type examination, or based on product conformity verification.
Helpful tips when selecting a Notified Body:
- The selected Notified Body should be appropriately designated and competent to assess and certify the specific medical device in accordance with the applicable CE conformity assessment requirements.
- Begin the selection process early, as the entire process from selection of a NB through CE Certification can take more than a year.
