EU MDR language requirements

 

With an intention to ensure high safety and quality standards of medical devices manufactured or supplied in the EU member states, European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) was brought into effect.

To comply with the new EU MDR, medical device manufacturers are now required to meet stricter rules and regulations. Among the many requirements set by the EU MDR, language requirements are given particular attention.

Manufacturers need to ensure that the necessary documents related to medical devices are accurately translated into the official languages of the EU member states. However, meeting these requirements for medical device translation can be challenging.

To assist manufacturers in navigating these requirements, we have compiled a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of the medical device translation process. This guide outlines the specific requirements that must be met, the challenges that manufacturers may encounter when translating documents, and the solutions provided by language service providers.

By following the guidelines laid out in this guide, medical device manufacturers can ensure that their products are fully compliant with the EU MDR’s language regulations.

However, it is important to note that EU MDR is a complex and continuously evolving regulation, and it’s essential to refer to the official European Union websites or consult legal experts for the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on the regulation.
