Frequently Asked Questions about CE Marking according to MDR or IVDR

Clear and consistent technical documentation creates confidence in the approval process and facilitates collaboration with Notified Bodies. Structured documentation helps map requirements traceably and avoid queries or delays in the review process.

How long does it take to obtain CE marking according to MDR or IVDR?

This depends heavily on the Product Class, the initial state of Technical Documentation and Quality Management System, the need for a Clinical Investigation or external test laboratories, and the capacity of the Notified Body. As a rough guide: simpler Class I products can be certified within a few months – more complex Class IIb or III products often require one to two years. A realistic roadmap from the start is critical. This is exactly where we support you.

Does my existing product need to be recertified under the MDR or IVDR?

Yes. Products that were certified according to the MDD or IVDD must meet the requirements of the MDR or IVDR – even if they have been on the market successfully for years. The good news: not everything always needs to be rebuilt from scratch. We analyze your baseline status and show you which specific adjustments are required.

MDR compliance requires a functioning quality management system. If yours isn’t up to standard yet:

Which product classes require a Notified Body?

For Medical Devices of Classes IIa, IIb, and III, as well as certain Class I devices (sterile (Is), with measuring function (Im), or reusable surgical (Ir)), the involvement of a Notified Body is mandatory. Class I devices without special classification can self-certify. According to the IVDR, the proportion of products requiring a Notified Body has increased significantly due to the new classification. We help you determine the correct classification for your product.

What do Notified Bodies review in the Conformity Assessment Procedure?

Notified Bodies review whether Technical Documentation, Quality Management System, and Clinical Evaluation or Performance Evaluation are complete, consistent, and comprehensible. Notified Bodies are not looking for perfect documentation – they are looking for documentation they can understand. This is exactly what we prepare you for.

What does MDR certification cost?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer here – costs depend on Product Classification, complexity, and initial status. What we can offer you: a realistic evaluation based on your specific situation. Contact us – the first consultation is free of charge.

What is the difference between MDR and IVDR?

The MDR (Regulation (EU) 2017/745) governs Medical Devices; the IVDR (Regulation (EU) 2017/746) governs In Vitro Diagnostic Devices. Both regulations place high demands on Technical Documentation, Quality Management System, and Conformity Assessment – but differ in Product Classification, clinical evidence requirements, and implementation timelines. We will clarify which regulation applies to your product and what that means in concrete terms during an initial consultation.

You don’t have to navigate the path to CE marking on your own.

Whether you’re at the start or in the middle of the process – we’ll assess where you stand and what needs to be done next. So that complexity is transformed into a clear next step.
