Aesthetic Devices EU MDR Certification (EU 2017/745)

Preparing for EU MDR Standards:

The Medical Device Directive (MDD) was Europe’s previous regulatory and CE marking framework for medical devices, excluding most cosmetic and aesthetic products. However, the European Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) covers many of these product types.

As a cosmetic or aesthetic product manufacturer, are you prepared to comply with the MDR now that it is fully in effect in the EU?

Cosmetic and Aesthetic Products Subject to MDR Compliance:

Appendix XVI of the MDR identifies the following cosmetic and aesthetic products that must comply with the new regulation:

1. Solid body contouring implants

2. Liposuction devices

3. Colored contact lenses

4. Skin fillers

5. Collagen implants

6. Laser/Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal devices

7. Skin resurfacing devices

8. Tattoo removal devices

MDR compliance means that cosmetic and aesthetic product manufacturers must obtain and maintain CE marking certification to sell their products in Europe.
