France’s GMED Chosen as Country’s First Notified Body Under MDR

French certification agency GMED has been designated as a notified body under the EU’s Medical Device Regulation (MDR), making it the country’s first notified body that can certify products for compliance with the MDR.

GMED is only the fifteenth notified body to receive the designation that allows it to certify a wide range of medical device categories.

The MDR will go into effect on May 26 of next year unless it is further delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
