Harmonised standards for medical devices

List of harmonised standards for medical devices

Harmonised standards provide methods to document that devices conform to the essential requirements of the legislation. This means that when these standards are used, a presumption of conformity comes with it.

Use of the standards is voluntary for manufacturers. However, if manufacturers choose not to use the relevant standards, they must document that the essential requirements of the legislation are complied with in some other way.
