Conformity Assessment in Ukraine

Оцінка відповідності в Україні

Заголовок

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:

  • Recognition of the conformity assessment results performed in the EU (recognition of CE certificate)
  • On-site audit (or remote audit)

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 CertificateOn-site Audit
AdvantagesDisadvantagesAdvantagesDisadvantages
Does not require an on-site visitIssued for the duration of the CE certificateCertificate is issued for 5 yearsRequires an on-site visit
Faster processCannot include products not covered by the European certificateAll product groups can be included in one certificateAdditional travel and accommodation costs for auditors
Lower cost compared to on-site auditCannot combine multiple CE certificates from the same manufacturer into oneMost documents can be reviewed at the facilityCertification audit takes at least 2-3 days

As you can see from the table, the recognition of CE certificates appears to be a more attractive form of conformity assessment due to the lack of need for auditors to visit the facility. However, during the recognition procedure, the Ukrainian conformity assessment body can only issue a certificate with a scope identical to the scope mentioned in the CE certificate. This means that the product groups listed must be identical in both the European and Ukrainian certificates. Additionally, some Ukrainian bodies may not conduct the recognition procedure or may not have the necessary agreements for recognition with European bodies. Therefore, it is essential to carefully verify whether the chosen body has an agreement with the European Notified Body that issued the CE certificate.
