Conformity assessment is the evaluation of whether a medical device complies with the regulatory requirements for medical devices.
Depending on the risk class of the medical device, the conformity assessment shall be performed either by the manufacturer alone or with the assistance of a notified body.
A notified body is an independent third party that assesses whether the medical device complies with the regulatory requirements.
