Instrument Directive correctly applied: These requirements result for your CE-compliant product

requirements, starting with Directive 2014/32/EU. The production process and quality management system must be documented, and the documentation must be reviewed and accessible to consumers. If the CE mark is affixed, the device can be legally placed on the European market.

2. Determine which laboratory tests may be required. Many instruments can be tested directly by the manufacturer, but all high-risk instruments require laboratory testing. A notified body shall be engaged to verify its conformity. It examines, checks and certifies the conformity of the technical design of the device. Appropriate tests or relevant technical specifications laid down in the harmonized standards shall be carried out. The notified body shall carry out the required conformity assessment procedures and certify the quality of the product and its compliance with the Directive.

The technical document must contain the following points:

• The name and address of the manufacturer,
• Detailed description of the device and/or its serial number, with drawings, diagrams and general information about the software,
• A list of fully or partially applied harmonized standards and/or normative documents,
• Risk assessment of components, building materials and subassemblies,
• Reference, where appropriate, to the specifications with which conformity can be declared,
• Application of compliance standards and procedures,
• Production or manufacturing process and documents,
• Photographs of the device from different angles,
• Authentic details of the signatory,
• The last two digits of the year in which the CE marking was affixed

A notified body shall carry out calibration, testing, audit, inspection and certification activities specified in the conformity assessment procedures where third party certification is required. Notified bodies shall be designated by the designated authorities (the competent ministries) in accordance with the applicable directives and notified to the Europ

A notified body may provide conformity assessment services within Europe or in third countries. It must provide information to the notification authority and the supervisory authorities and carry out its activities impartially, independently and competently. As proof of their competence, they should have a corresponding accreditation.

The notified body shall issue a Certificate of Conformity for each approved device for the tests and tests carried out and shall affix its identification number as part of the CE mark.

• The name and address of the manufacturer,
• Description of the device and/or its serial number,
• Reference to relevant harmonized standards,
• Reference, where appropriate, to the specifications with which conformity can be declared,
• Authentic details of the signatory,
• The last two digits of the year of affixing the CE marking.

The list of technical documents (see above) can be used to meet this requirement.

The conformity assessment modules consist of 8 main categories:

• Module A, A1, A2 - Internal production control
• Module B - EU type examination
• Module C, C1, C2 - conformity with the EU type based on internal production control
• Module D, D1 - Conformity with the EU-supported quality assurance of the production process.
• Module E, E1 - Conformity with the EU type supported product quality assurance.
• Module F, F1 - Testing of conformity with the EU type of supported products
• Module G - Conformity based on an individual test
• Module H, H1 - Compliance supports comprehensive quality assurance.

The proportions must be adhered to, even if the size is changed.

The CE marking must be clearly visible, legible and permanently affixed to the device or its data label. However, if this is not possible or not guaranteed due to the nature of the device, it must be attached to the packaging (if available) and the accompanying documents.
