Prove compliance and secure international market access
The regulations on the international markets are as comprehensive as the range of different medical devices. In the future, product testing will also be an important and mandatory part to fulfill the MDR requirements. Therefore, familiarize with the applicable legal requirements in your target market at an early stage in order to avoid delays in approval.
Find out on this website how you can prove the safety of your medical devices and thus secure access to international markets. We support you in this process with our tests and certifications for medical devices.
Our Testings for the Security of your Medical Device
Patients and users rely on the safety of your medical devices, so conformity with the applicable requirements of the target market must be clearly ensured.
For medical electrical equipment, the IEC 60601-1 series of standards is of particular importance. This harmonized and globally recognized series of standards identifies collateral, particular and performance standards for each type of device. However, there are some local deviations, which significantly increase the complexity for internationally operating manufacturers and retailers.
We are experienced experts in dealing with the IEC 60601-1 series of standards as well as the supplementary IEC/EN 80601 and DIN EN 61010 standards. Thanks to our efficient processes, we are able to perform all required tests quickly and easily. Learn more about testing according to the IEC 60601-1 series of standards in our fact sheet, on our service page or in personal contact with our experts.
