On Friday 27 April 2012, the European Commission published updated lists of the European harmonized standards that pertain to the Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EC), In Vitro Diagnostics Directive (98/79/EC), and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC). The standards on these lists may be used by manufacturers to prove that their equipment complies with the essential requirements of this directive.
The updated list are important to all manufacturers of CE marked medical devices, active implantable medical devices and in vitro diagnostics that have used European harmonized standards to prove CE compliance. If you have applied standards to prove compliance with the aforementioned directives, re-evaluate your products against the updated standards and update your Declaration of Conformity.
