• <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 />

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

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