Europese guidance-documenten

De Europese Commissie biedt een reeks guidance-documenten aan om belanghebbenden te helpen bij de uitvoering van de IVDR en de MDR.

De guidance-documenten zijn bekrachtigd door de Medical Device Coordination Group (MDCG) en streven naar een uniforme toepassing van de MDR en de IVDR binnen de EU. Deze documenten zijn te vinden op:  Guidance - MDCG endorsed documents and other guidance.
