COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/2185
of 23 November 2017
on the list of codes and corresponding types of devices for the purpose of specifying the scope of the designation as notified bodies in the field of medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council and in vitro diagnostic medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices, amending Directive 2001/83/EC, Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and repealing Council Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 39(10) and 42(13) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices and repealing Directive 98/79/EC and Commission Decision 2010/227/EU (2), and in particular Articles 35(10) and 38(13) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Conformity assessment of medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 may require involvement of conformity assessment bodies. Only conformity assessment bodies that have been designated under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 or Regulation (EU) 2017/746 may carry out such assessment and only for the activities related to the types of devices concerned. In order to enable specifying the scope of the designation of conformity assessment bodies notified under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 or Regulation (EU) 2017/746 it is necessary to draw up list of codes and corresponding types of devices. |
(2) |
The lists of codes and corresponding types of devices should take into account various device types which can be characterised by design and intended purpose, manufacturing processes and technologies used, such as sterilisation and the use of nanomaterials. The lists of codes should provide for a multi-dimensional typology of devices which ensures that conformity assessment bodies designated as notified bodies are fully competent for the devices they are required to assess. |
(3) |
In accordance with Article 42(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and Article 38(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/746, when notifying the Commission and the other Member States of the conformity assessment bodies they have designated Member States are to clearly specify, using the codes, the scope of the designation indicating the conformity assessment activities and the types of devices which the notified body is authorised to assess. In order to facilitate such notification and the assessment of the application for designation referred to in Article 38 of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2017/746, conformity assessment bodies should use the lists of codes and corresponding types of devices set out in this Regulation when applying for designation. |
(4) |
Experience shows that conformity assessment bodies applying for designation in the field of in vitro diagnostic medical devices also apply for designation for medical devices under Regulation (EU) 2017/745. It is therefore appropriate, for reasons of user-friendliness, to include the lists of codes for Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and for Regulation (EU) 2017/746 in one Implementing Regulation. |
(5) |
As of 26 November 2017, conformity assessment bodies may submit an application for designation as a notified body under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and Regulation (EU) 2017/746. In order to enable the conformity assessment bodies to use the codes laid down in this Regulation in the application for designation, this Regulation... |
