Information for manufacturers of medical devices for in-vitro diagnostics

The Directive on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC) was established on December 7, 1998 and will be replaced on May 26, 2022 by Regulation (EU) 2017/746 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017.

In vitro diagnostic medical devices are a group of devices that can assist the patient and physician in making medical decisions. Their growing impact and invaluable diagnostic value have been noticed during the COVID-19 pandemic. IVD tests are becoming more accurate and easier to use, making them an indispensable attribute of the modern medical device market.

Compulsory certification of in vitro diagnostic medical devices in accordance with Directive 98/79/EC applies to manufacturers placing their devices on the market in the EU, the European Free Trade Area (EFTA), Switzerland, Turkey and some other countries which are on the way to join the EU structures.
CeCert, as a notified body, as part of its activities carries out certification processes for medical devices subject to Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 1998 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC) classified as list A and list B specified in Annex II to the above-mentioned of the directive as well as self-testing devices.
