What do <strong>Notified</strong> <strong>Bodies</strong> do?<br />

• <strong>Assess</strong> the conformity of products to the Essential<br />

Requirements of the Medical Device Directives<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Quality Systems used to manufacture<br />

them to relevant st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

– This enables manufacturers to affix the CE mark to<br />

the product <strong>and</strong> gain entry to the EU market<br />

• <strong>Notified</strong> Body involvement increases with the risk<br />

of product<br />

– For high risk products, <strong>Notified</strong> <strong>Bodies</strong> need very<br />

significant <strong>and</strong> varied expertise<br />

• Manufacturers need expert <strong>and</strong> stable <strong>Notified</strong><br />

<strong>Bodies</strong> to provide secure long term market access<br />
