Home » Conformity Assessment in Ukraine
To pass the conformity assessment for medical devices in Ukraine, you need to meet the requirements of the Technical Regulations for medical devices No. 753, the Technical Regulation for in vitro medical devices No. 754, or the Technical Regulation for active implantable medical devices.
The primary method for introducing medical devices to the Ukrainian market is through the import of devices from abroad. In this case, you must have an Authorized Representative within Ukraine. If the manufacturer is located in Ukraine, an Authorized Representative is not required.
In both cases, you need to undergo a conformity assessment procedure with a conformity assessment body (for classes Is, Im, IIa, IIb, and III) or be included in the Register of entities responsible for the introduction of medical devices on the Ukrainian market (for class I).

In the conformity assessment process, a state-accredited conformity assessment body evaluates the characteristics of the medical device and the manufacturer’s quality system. Based on the results, a certificate of conformity is issued for your product. There are two main methods for conducting the conformity assessment by the body:
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below is a comparative table of CE certificate recognition and on-site (remote) audit:
Recognition of CE Certificate | On-site Audit | ||
Advantages | Disadvantages | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Does not require an on-site visit | Issued for the duration of the CE certificate | Certificate is issued for 5 years | Requires an on-site visit |
Faster process | Cannot include products not covered by the European certificate | All product groups can be included in one certificate | Additional travel and accommodation costs for auditors |
Lower cost compared to on-site audit | Cannot combine multiple CE certificates from the same manufacturer into one | Most documents can be reviewed at the facility | Certification audit takes at least 2-3 days |
