Device certification
< 1 min reading time

Medical devices sold in Europe carry the CE Mark. Does anyone have a list of non-EU countries who also require the CE Mark? (e.g. the Saudi regulatory body will accept the mark)
Thanks for your feedback!

Robert Poyser I would not say non-EU countries require CE mark, but generally most recognise the CE mark and of course FDA approval when registering the device for their market, some countries like China, you have to go through their device certification process.
Middle east has a complex registration process, but does accept CE and FDA.

Robert Poyser Most Non EU countries require some form of the following documentation.
-C of C
-CE Mark/FDA 510K cert
-Manufacturers Authorisation letter (to sell)
-Copy of IFU
-Copy of labelling
-Some type of registration form/document
And some inc middle east need the documents legalising/apostilling

Hello Joy, Mexico requires CE mark for sanitary registration, and also many other certifications such as UL and ISO. FDA approval is needed only if you're registering under NA-FTA.

In India CE and US FDA approvals are considered as good credentials but not mandatory for home registration

For Australia, TGA accepts CE for Class IIa, Class IIb and Class III not Class I, however in some cases such as Device including medicine and Devices with animal origin , manufacturer will need to obtain TGA Conformity assessment
