CE Marking for medical devices

CE marking is the medical device manufacturer’s claim that a product meets the essential requirements of all relevant European Medical Device Directives. The Directives outline the safety and performance requirements for medical devices in the European Union (EU). The CE mark is a legal requirement to place a device on the market in the EU. As a Notified Body under the Medical Device Directives, BSI has the technical expertise and experience to provide CE marking services.

CE marking is the medical device manufacturer’s claim that a product meets the General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR) of all relevant European Medical Device Regulations and is a legal requirement to place a device on the market in the European Union.

To understand which requirements you need to meet, you must classify the device and identify the appropriate conformity assessment route for your product. This dictates the required activities to demonstrate conformity.

We will review the route you chose to confirm its suitability, and work with you to execute the most efficient review process for the route selected. Our trusted review processes allow you to build reliability and confidence into your CE marking project planning.
