frequently asked questions
Is CE marking mandatory for medical device registration in Germany?
Yes. Germany enforces European Union medical device laws. Under EU MDR 2017/745, securing a valid CE Mark is mandatory before any medical device can be placed on the market or made available in Germany.
What role does BfArM play in Germany medical device registration?
BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices) is the central health authority in Germany. While CE marking permits European distribution, BfArM oversees national market surveillance, health technology assessments, digital health app (DiGA) approvals, and local notification protocols.
What is required for EUDAMED database registration in Germany?
Manufacturers must complete actor registration in EUDAMED to obtain a Single Registration Number (SRN). Once the SRN is issued, the manufacturer registers the medical device along with its Basic UDI-DI details into the EUDAMED database prior to market placement.
Do non-EU manufacturers need a European Authorized Representative (EC REP)?
Yes. Manufacturers located outside the European Union must legally designate a European Authorized Representative (EC REP) established within an EU member state to handle regulatory duties and serve as the liaison with EU authorities.
Is a Notified Body required for all device classes in Germany?
Notified Body involvement is required for Class IIa, IIb, and III devices, as well as Class I devices that are sterile, have a measuring function, or are reusable surgical instruments. Standard Class I (low-risk) devices follow a self-declaration pathway under EU MDR.
