Our CE Mark Notified Body Services
Targeted support for EU MDR compliance, documentation, readiness, and Notified Body engagement.
EU MDR Strategy
Develop a clear conformity assessment pathway, device classification rationale, standards mapping, and Notified Body engagement plan to support efficient CE marking under EU MDR.
Technical Documentation
Build or strengthen Annex II and III technical files, GSPR evidence mapping, risk documentation, and supporting records so your submission is organized for rigorous review.
Readiness Assessment
Evaluate documentation completeness, clinical evidence, QMS alignment, and submission risks before approaching a Notified Body, with a prioritized action plan for remediation.
Gap Remediation
Close identified EU MDR gaps through hands-on support for technical file updates, labeling corrections, risk management alignment, and post-market documentation improvements.
Clinical Evaluation
Strengthen CERs, PMCF rationale, and broader clinical evidence strategies to meet heightened EU MDR expectations and support a more defensible conformity assessment.
Change Assessments
Assess design, labeling, software, or manufacturing changes against EU MDR significance criteria to determine whether Notified Body involvement is required.
Our CE Mark Support Process
Assess Device Classification And Route
We review your device, intended use, risk class, and applicable EU MDR conformity assessment pathway to define the right regulatory route before documentation work begins.
Audit Documentation And Evidence
Our team evaluates your technical file, GSPR mapping, clinical evidence, risk management records, labeling, and QMS alignment against current Notified Body expectations.
Close Gaps With Targeted Remediation
We prioritize deficiencies by regulatory impact, then support remediation across Annex II and III documentation, CER content, PMS records, and cross-referenced evidence.
Prepare For Notified Body Review
Once the file is strengthened, we organize submission-ready documentation, refine your regulatory narrative, and help your team prepare for questions, audits, and review cycles.
Support Ongoing Certification Maintenance
After submission, we assist with deficiency responses, change assessments, and post-market obligations so your CE marking strategy remains compliant over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a notified body for CE marking?
Not every device requires Notified Body involvement, but many do under EU MDR. Class I non-sterile, non-measuring devices may be self-declared, while higher-risk devices, sterile devices, measuring devices, and many reusable surgical instruments typically require review by a designated Notified Body. The correct answer depends on device classification, intended use, and conformity assessment route.
What is a CE notified body?
A CE Notified Body is an independent organization designated by an EU member state to assess whether certain products meet applicable European regulatory requirements. For medical devices under EU MDR, Notified Bodies review technical documentation, audit quality systems, and issue certificates when conformity is demonstrated. They play a formal role in market access for many device classes.
What documents are typically needed for a Notified Body review?
Most reviews require a structured technical documentation package aligned with EU MDR Annex II and III. That usually includes device description, intended use, classification rationale, GSPR checklist, risk management file, verification and validation evidence, clinical evaluation, labeling, IFU, PMS documentation, and relevant QMS records. The exact depth depends on device class, technology, and claims.
How can I tell if my technical file is ready for submission?
A submission-ready file is complete, internally consistent, traceable, and aligned to the exact EU MDR requirements your device will be assessed against. Readiness means your clinical evidence supports claims, risk management links to GSPR conformity, labeling matches intended use, and post-market obligations are addressed. A structured readiness assessment is the most reliable way to identify gaps before formal review.
How long does the CE marking process take with a Notified Body?
Timelines vary based on device class, documentation maturity, remediation needs, and Notified Body capacity. Well-prepared submissions move faster because they reduce deficiency cycles and follow-up questions. In practice, the process often includes classification review, documentation preparation, internal gap closure, formal submission, audit activity where applicable, and response rounds before certification is issued.
Can you help if we are transitioning from MDD to EU MDR?
Yes. Transition support typically includes reviewing legacy documentation against EU MDR requirements, identifying gaps in clinical evidence, PMS, PMCF, labeling, and technical documentation structure, then building a prioritized remediation plan. This is especially important because EU MDR expectations are broader and more rigorous than MDD, particularly around clinical justification, traceability, and post-market systems.
What happens if the Notified Body raises deficiencies?
Deficiencies are formal requests for clarification, correction, or additional evidence. A strong response addresses each point directly, cites the relevant documentation, and closes the underlying compliance issue rather than offering vague explanations. Effective deficiency management often involves updating technical documents, strengthening evidence, improving traceability, and ensuring consistency across the entire submission package.
Do you support post-certification changes and ongoing compliance?
Yes. CE marking is not a one-time event, and manufacturers must manage changes, surveillance obligations, PMS outputs, and documentation updates throughout the product lifecycle. Ongoing support can include change impact assessments, CER updates, PMCF reviews, labeling revisions, complaint and PMS governance, and maintaining alignment between the technical file and the marketed device.
