Additional Services

From January 1st 2021, the UK will adopt the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking system that will be used for certain goods, including medical devices.

CE marked devices will continue to be accepted on the Great Britain market until 30 June 2023, after which all medical devices will be required to have UKCA certification.

The UK government is also setting up a new domestic UK database to replace the EU’s NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations) Information System.

MHRA continues to provide guidance on the implementation and practicalities of the new guidelines and UKMDR can accompany you through this period of transition while coordinating with your UK Approved Notified Body.
