UKCA Marking: Medical Devices Regulations (UK MDR 2002) : Requirements for Furniture
21st May, 2018

At a glance:

The Medical Devices Regulations (MDR) has an extremely broad remit and covers all products/equipment intended by the manufacturer to be used to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat, alleviate, compensate for and/or control a disease, injury, handicap, physiological process or conception. It is important to understand that the intended purpose and the way a product is marketed can cause them to be covered or excluded from this directive.

Where other regulations look at eliminating or reducing the risk of injury the MDR takes a different view, balancing risk against benefit. Effectively the MDR accepts that some products might pose a health risk to the user, but it is outweighed by the benefits.


Highlights:

    • How to classify your products based on their intended usage
    • Guidance on what all products must be subject to (regardless of their classification)
    • Understand what ‘technical information’ you need to state with the product
    • Explanations of ‘UK Declaration of Conformity’ and ‘UKCA Marking’
    • See what standards are associated with these products
