CE Marking for Medical Devices in Algeria
If you are a medical device manufacturer in Algeria planning to export to Europe, CE Marking is mandatory. It proves your devices comply with the EU Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745) or the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR 2017/746), ensuring legal access to the entire European Economic Area (EEA) market (30+ countries). At Operon Strategist, we assist Algerian companies with the complete CE marking process — from device classification and QMS setup to Notified Body submissions and clinical evaluation — ensuring your devices are EU-compliant and competitive in the European market.
What is CE Marking for Algerian Medical Devices?
CE marking is Europe’s official conformity certification for medical devices and IVD products. For Algerian manufacturers, it:
