Im Dezember 2025 verabschiedeten Europäisches Parlament und Rat eine Überarbeitung der EUDR. Die Verordnung gilt ab dem 30. Dezember 2026 für große und mittlere Unternehmen sowie Kleinst- und Kleinunternehmen der Holzbranche und ab dem 30. Juni 2027 für andere Kleinst- und Kleinunternehmen (KMU). Um die Umsetzung zu vereinfachen, wurde gestern ein aktualisierter Leitfaden sowie ein neues FAQ-Dokument veröffentlicht, die von den Interessenträgern am häufigsten angesprochenen Themen und präzisieren und die Verpflichtungen für die nachgelagerte Lieferkette als auch die vereinfachten Regelungen für KMU erläutern. Ergänzend veranschaulichen aktualisierte EUDR-Infografiken anhand praktischer Beispiele unterschiedliche Lieferkettenszenarien. Die Dokumente wurden mit den Mitgliedstaaten im Hinblick auf eine harmonisierte Durchsetzung innerhalb der EU abgestimmt. Zudem wird ein neuer delegierten Rechtsakt vorgeschlagen, der gezielte Änderungen des Anwendungsbereichs der EUDR vorsieht. Vorgeschlagen werden u.a. Ergänzungen zu bestimmten nachgelagerten Produkten wie Palmölderivate sowie verschiedene Ausnahmen zu denen u.a. Produktmuster, bestimmte Papier-Verpackungsmaterialien und Marketingmaterialien zählen. Der Entwurf steht bis zum 1. Juni 2026 zur öffentlichen Stellungnahme offen. Mitgliedsfirmen, die eine Kommentierung über Pharma Deutschland einreichen möchten, werden bis spätestens Dienstag, den 26. Mai 2026 um eine Rückmeldung gebeten. Der Rechtsakt wird den Mitgliedstaaten zur Zustimmung vorgelegt. Parallel wird ebenfalls das Informationssystem aktualisiert, um die Überarbeitung abzubilden und Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu verbessern.

Stakeholders’ targeted consultation EU4Health work programme 2027
The EU4Health Programme, adopted in March 2021, is the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to
build a strong European Health Union by supporting legislative and non-legislative Union health
priorities. Health is a vital investment and the EU4Health programme represents an unprecedented level of EU
financial support in the health area, with an initial budget of EUR 5.3 billion for the 2021-27 period,
subsequently adjusted to EUR 4.6 billion following the revision of the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial
Framework.
The European Commission is building a strong European Health Union, in which all EU countries prepare and
respond together to health crises, medical supplies are available, affordable and innovative, and countries
work together to improve prevention, treatment and aftercare for diseases such as cancer or cardiovascular
diseases.
This targeted consultation is intended to seek the opinion of stakeholders about current and future Union
health priorities and strategic orientations on key health needs to be addressed through the EU4Health work
programme 2027. The results will be compiled in a summary stakeholders’ consultation report (see the report
on stakeholders' consultation conducted in 2025 – ).link
For further information please read the consultation strategy ( ).link
This targeted consultation will be available from 4 May to 12 June 2026.
Please read carefully the privacy statement ( ) before proceeding.link

Die Europäische Kommission hat eine Konsultation zu den künftigen Prioritäten der EU-Gesundheitspolitik gestartet. Ziel ist es, fundierte Beiträge für die Ausarbeitung des EU4Health-Arbeitsprogramms 2027 zu sammeln. Interessierte Akteure aus dem Gesundheitsbereich sind eingeladen, ihre Perspektiven und Empfehlungen einzubringen. Im Mittelpunkt der Konsultation stehen fünf zentrale Themenfelder: Krisenvorsorge und der Umgang mit grenzüberschreitenden Gesundheitsbedrohungen, Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention, die Stärkung von Gesundheitssystemen und Fachkräften, die digitale Transformation sowie die Bekämpfung von Krebs, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und anderen nichtübertragbaren Krankheiten. Die Konsultation läuft noch bis zum 12. Juni 2026. Unterhalb dieses Artikels stellen wir Ihnen den Fragebogen, der online ausgefüllt werden muss, zur Ansicht zur Verfügung. Die eingegangenen Beiträge werden in einem zusammenfassenden Bericht ausgewertet und auf der EU4Health-Website veröffentlicht. Gerne können Sie Ihre Antworten auch an Anna Wehage ( wehage@pharmadeutschland.de ) senden. Bei ausreichender Rückmeldung werden wir uns an der Konsultation beteiligen. Hintergrund: Das EU4Health-Programm wurde im März 2021 verabschiedet und verfolgt das Ziel, eine starke Europäische Gesundheitsunion aufzubauen. Dazu gehört insbesondere, dass die EU-Mitgliedstaaten gemeinsam auf Gesundheitskrisen reagieren, die Versorgung mit medizinischen Produkten sichern und die Zusammenarbeit bei Prävention, Behandlung und Versorgung von Patientinnen und Patienten stärken. Für das Finanzierungsinstrument wurde den Zeitraum 2021–2027 ursprünglich ein Budget von 5,3 Milliarden Euro vorgesehen, das im Zuge der Überarbeitung des Mehrjährigen Finanzrahmens auf 4,6 Milliarden Euro angepasst wurde.

agenda.
List of acronyms and abbreviations
For a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in the PRAC agenda, see:
List of abbreviations used in EMA human medicines scientific committees and CMDh documents, and in
relation to EMA’s regulatory activities
EU Referral procedures for safety reasons: Urgent EU procedures and Other EU referral
procedures
(Items 2 and 3 of the PRAC agenda)
A referral is a procedure used to resolve issues such as concerns over the safety or benefit-risk balance of a
medicine or a class of medicines. In a referral, the EMA is requested to conduct a scientific assessment of a
particular medicine or class of medicines on behalf of the European Union (EU). For further detailed
information on safety related referrals please see: Referral procedures: human medicines | European
Medicines Agency (europa.eu)
Signals assessment and prioritisation
(Item 4 of the PRAC agenda)
A safety signal is information on a new or incompletely documented adverse event that is potentially caused
by a medicine and that warrants further investigation. Signals are generated from several sources such as
spontaneous reports, clinical studies and the scientific literature. The evaluation of safety signals is a routine
part of pharmacovigilance and is essential to ensuring that regulatory authorities have a comprehensive
knowledge of a medicine’s benefits and risks.
The presence of a safety signal does not mean that a medicine has caused the reported adverse event. The
adverse event could be a symptom of another illness or caused by another medicine taken by the patient.

Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC)
EMA/PRAC/89531/2026 Page 58/58
The evaluation of safety signals is required to establish whether or not there is a causal relationship between
the medicine and the reported adverse event.
The evaluation of safety signals may not necessarily conclude that the medicine caused the adverse event in
question. In cases where a causal relationship is confirmed or considered likely, regulatory action may be
necessary and this usually takes the form of an update of the summary of product characteristics and the
package leaflet.
Risk Management Plans (RMPs)
(Item 5 of the PRAC agenda)
The RMP describes what is known and not known about the side effects of a medicine and states how these
risks will be prevented or minimised in patients. It also includes plans for studies and other activities to gain
more knowledge about the safety of the medicine and risk factors for developing side effects.
RMPs are continually modified and updated throughout the lifetime of the medicine as new information
becomes available.
Assessment of Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs)
(Item 6 of the PRAC agenda)
A PSUR is a report providing an evaluation of the benefit-risk balance of a medicine, which is submitted by
marketing authorisation holders at defined time points following a medicine’s authorisation.
PSURs summarises data on the benefits and risks of a medicine and includes the results of all studies carried
out with this medicine (in the authorised and unauthorised indications).
Post-authorisation Safety Studies (PASS)
(Item 7 of the PRAC agenda)
A PASS is a study of an authorised medicinal product carried out to obtain further information on its safety,
or to measure the effectiveness of risk management measures. The results of a PASS help regulatory
agencies to evaluate the safety and benefit-risk profile of a medicine.
Product related pharmacovigilance inspections
(Item 9 of the PRAC agenda)
Inspections carried out by regulatory agencies to ensure that marketing authorisation holders comply with
their pharmacovigilance obligations.
More detailed information on the above terms can be found on the EMA website: www.ema.europa.eu/
Article 58 procedures (Art 58)
Article 58 of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 allows the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use
(CHMP) to give opinions, in co-operation with the World Health Organisation (WHO) on medicinal products
for human use that are intended exclusively for markets outside of the European Union (EU)

Vom 4. – 7. Mai hält das PRAC seine monatliche Sitzung bei der EMA ab. Im Rahmen dieses Meetings werden wie üblich auch neue Signale diskutiert. Laut Agenda wurden keine neuen dringenden Verfahren (EU referral procedures for safety reasons: urgent EU procedures) und auch keine other EU referral procedures eröffnet. Die EMA informiert regelmäßig vorab (noch vor Publikation der Agenda) die QPPVs der Zulassungsinhaber welche Sicherheitssignale bei der kommenden PRAC-Sitzung diskutiert werden. Die Signale können jedoch zusätzlich der Agenda unter Punkt 4 entnommen werden. Über die Meeting-Highlights wird im nächsten Pharmakovigilanz-Wochenbericht informiert. Die Agenda wurde auf der Webseite der EMA veröffentlicht.

DURCHFÜHRUNGSVERORDNUNG (EU) 2026/977 DER KOMMISSION
vom 4. Mai 2026
zur Festlegung bestimmter einheitlicher Anforderungen an das Qualitätsmanagement und die
Verfahren für die Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten, die von einer Benannten Stelle durchgeführt
werden, welche gemäß den Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 und (EU) 2017/746 des Europäischen
Parlaments und des Rates benannt wurde
(Text von Bedeutung für den EWR)
DIE EUROPÄISCHE KOMMISSION —
gestützt auf den Vertrag über die Arbeitsweise der Europäischen Union,
gestützt auf die Verordnung (EU) 2017/745 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 5. April 2017 über
Medizinprodukte, zur Änderung der Richtlinie 2001/83/EG, der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 178/2002 und der Verordnung (EG)
Nr. 1223/2009 und zur Aufhebung der Richtlinien 90/385/EWG und 93/42/EWG des Rates (1), insbesondere Artikel 36
Absatz 3,
gestützt auf die Verordnung (EU) 2017/746 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates vom 5. April 2017 über In-vitro-
Diagnostika und zur Aufhebung der Richtlinie 98/79/EG und des Beschlusses 2010/227/EU der Kommission (2),
insbesondere Artikel 32 Absatz 3,
in Erwägung nachstehender Gründe:
(1) Mit den Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 und (EU) 2017/746 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates wurde ein
Rechtsrahmen geschaffen, der das reibungslose Funktionieren des Binnenmarkts für Medizinprodukte und In-vitro-
Diagnostika gewährleisten soll, wobei ein hohes Gesundheitsschutzniveau für Patienten und Anwender zugrunde
gelegt wird. Außerdem sind in diesen Verordnungen hohe Standards für die Qualität und Sicherheit von
Medizinprodukten und In-vitro-Diagnostika festgelegt, durch die allgemeine Sicherheitsbedenken hinsichtlich dieser
Produkte ausgeräumt werden sollen.
(2) Gemäß den Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 und (EU) 2017/746 werden Benannte Stellen dafür benannt, die
Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten für die Zertifizierung von Medizinprodukten bzw. In-vitro-Diagnostika
durchzuführen. Zu diesem Zweck sollten diese Benannten Stellen bestimmte Anforderungen erfüllen, die zur
Wahrnehmung ihrer Aufgaben erforderlich sind, nämlich die Anforderungen in Anhang VII der Verordnung
(EU) 2017/745 in Bezug auf Medizinprodukte und die Anforderungen in Anhang VII der Verordnung
(EU) 2017/746 in Bezug auf In-vitro-Diagnostika.
(3) Bei der Anwendung der Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 und (EU) 2017/746 hat sich gezeigt, dass bestimmte
Anforderungen in Anhang VII der Verordnung (EU) 2017/745 und in Anhang VII der Verordnung (EU) 2017/746 in
Bezug auf die den Herstellern von den Benannten Stellen übermittelten Angebote, die Fristen für den Abschluss der
Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten und die erneute Zertifizierung uneinheitlich und unterschiedlich ausgelegt
werden. Die Anforderungen an das Qualitätsmanagement und die Verfahren sollten weiter präzisiert und
verdeutlicht werden, um sicherzustellen, dass sie einheitlich umgesetzt werden.
(4) Die individuellen Verfahrensweisen der Benannten Stellen in Bezug auf die Anforderungen an das Qualitätsma
nagement und die Verfahren weichen erheblich voneinander ab, was zu ungleichen Positionen der Hersteller im
gesamten Binnenmarkt führt. Dies gilt insbesondere für Hersteller, bei denen es sich um kleine und mittlere
Unternehmen handelt. Solche Verfahrensweisen wirken sich auf die Planbarkeit und den fristgerechten Abschluss der
Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten aus, was erhebliche Folgen und Verzögerungen mit Blick auf die Innovations
tätigkeit und die Gesundheit der Patienten mit sich bringt.
(5) Die Benannten Stellen haben deutlich unterschiedliche Verfahrensweisen bei der Abgabe von Angeboten für
spezifische Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten an die Hersteller an den Tag gelegt. Infolgedessen erhalten die
Hersteller keine zuverlässige Schätzung der insgesamt angeforderten Leistungen und Kosten. Um die
Verfahrensweisen der Benannten Stellen zu harmonisieren, sollte in dieser Verordnung festgelegt werden, welche

Mindestinformationen die Benannten Stellen für die Abgabe von Angeboten verlangen sollten, damit die
entsprechenden Anträge auf Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten nicht abgelehnt werden, weil sie unvollständig sind
oder weil das Produkt nicht in den Geltungsbereich der Benennung einer Benannten Stelle fällt. Die Benannten
Stellen sollten Informationen über das/die Produkt(e), seine/ihre Zweckbestimmung, besondere Merkmale oder
spezifische Technologien oder Verfahren anfordern, damit sie überprüfen können, ob sie für die entsprechenden
Codes gemäß der Durchführungsverordnung (EU) 2017/2185 der Kommission (3) benannt sind.
(6) Um ein Angebot zu erhalten, sollten die Hersteller den Benannten Stellen Informationen zur Verfügung stellen,
anhand deren diese feststellen können, ob ein Hersteller als Kleinstunternehmen, kleines oder mittleres Unternehmen
anzusehen ist, wobei die Empfehlung 2003/361/EG der Kommission betreffend die Definition der Kleinstun
ternehmen sowie der kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen zu berücksichtigen ist (4).
(7) Auf der Grundlage vollständiger Informationen über den Umfang der Konformitätsbewertung sollten die Benannten
Stellen Angebote abgeben, die eine klare Schätzung der Kosten enthalten, mit denen der Hersteller rechnen sollte.
Diese Kosten sollten dem Hersteller anhand einer klar dargestellten Aufschlüsselung vorgelegt werden und
gegebenenfalls die Kosten für die Überwachungstätigkeiten umfassen, sofern solche Tätigkeiten während des
Zertifizierungszyklus erforderlich sind.
(8) Um Angebote gemäß dieser Verordnung auf der Grundlage hinreichend genauer Informationen abgeben zu können,
sollten die Benannten Stellen die verfügbaren Möglichkeiten nutzen, um die Effizienz und Planbarkeit ihrer
Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten zu verbessern, z. B. durch strukturierte Dialoge mit den Herstellern,
insbesondere in der Phase vor der Antragstellung.
(9) Die Benannten Stellen haben unterschiedliche Verfahrensweisen für die Interaktion mit den Herstellern entwickelt,
was zu unterschiedlichen Verfahren für die Festlegung von Fristen für die Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten geführt
hat. In der Folge werden Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten innerhalb verschiedenster Fristen abgeschlossen, wobei
es häufig an einer klaren Begründung dafür fehlt, wie diese Fristen festgelegt werden.
(10) Im Interesse der Förderung einer sicheren und kontinuierlichen Versorgung der Öffentlichkeit sollten die Benannten
Stellen die Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten für ein Medizinprodukt oder In-vitro-Diagnostikum innerhalb der
kürzest möglichen Frist, die für die erforderliche Bewertung benötigt wird, oder spätestens innerhalb einer
maximalen Frist abschließen.
(11) Auf der Grundlage der einzelnen Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten, die für die Produktzertifizierung erforderlich
sind, sollten sich die Benannten Stellen und Hersteller auf Fristen für den Abschluss dieser Tätigkeiten einigen, um
sicherzustellen, dass sie die maximalen Fristen nicht überschreiten.
(12) Unter Berücksichtigung der Vielfalt der Produkte und der Besonderheiten der Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten, die
die Benannten Stellen durchführen müssen, sollten maximale Fristen festgelegt werden. Für die Bewertung des
Antrags auf ein Konformitätsbewertungsverfahren und die Unterzeichnung des Vertrags zwischen der Benannten
Stelle und dem Hersteller sollte eine maximale Frist festgelegt werden. Besteht zwischen Benannter Stelle und
Hersteller ein Rahmenvertrag, gilt als Unterzeichnung des Vertrags die Unterzeichnung des Vertrags über die
konkrete Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeit.
(13) Da Tätigkeiten in den Räumlichkeiten des Herstellers oder gegebenenfalls in den Räumlichkeiten bestimmter
Lieferanten oder Unterauftragnehmer des Herstellers durchgeführt werden müssen, sollten für die Audits des
Qualitätsmanagementsystems andere Fristen als für die Produktprüfung gelten. Eine solche Unterscheidung sollte
kein Hindernis dafür sein, dass Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten für die Produktprüfung und für das Qualitätsma
nagementsystem parallel erfolgen können, wenn sie gemäß Anhang IX der Verordnung (EU) 2017/745 und
Anhang IX der Verordnung (EU) 2017/746 durchgeführt werden und sofern die erforderlichen Hinweise aus der
Bewertung der technischen Dokumentation bei der Ausarbeitung des Auditprogramms berücksichtigt werden.

(3) Durchführungsverordnung (EU) 2017/2185 der Kommission vom 23. November 2017 über das Verzeichnis der Codes und der ihnen
entsprechenden Produktarten zur Bestimmung des Geltungsbereichs der Benennung einer Benannten Stelle auf dem Gebiet der
Medizinprodukte im Rahmen der Verordnung (EU) 2017/745 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates sowie auf dem Gebiet der
In-vitro-Diagnostika im Rahmen der Verordnung (EU) 2017/746 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates (ABl. L 309 vom
24.11.2017, S. 7, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2017/2185/oj).
(4) Empfehlung 2003/361/ΕG der Kommission vom 6. Mai 2003 betreffend die Definition der Kleinstunternehmen sowie der kleinen und
mittleren Unternehmen (ABl. L 124 vom 20.5.2003, S. 36, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reco/2003/361/oj).
http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2017/2185/oj
http://data.europa.eu/eli/reco/2003/361/oj
(14) Die Fristen für die Produktprüfung sollten für implantierbare Produkte der Klasse III oder der Klasse IIb sowie für
In-vitro-Diagnostika der Klasse D spezifisch sein. Fristen sollten auch gelten, wenn die technische Dokumentation für
ein repräsentatives Produkt stichprobenartig für andere Produkte der Klasse IIb oder IIa sowie für Produkte der Klasse
B und der Klasse C ebenso wie für spezifische In-vitro-Diagnostika, wie etwa therapiebegleitende Diagnostika,
patientennahe Tests und Produkte zur Eigenanwendung, bewertet wird.
(15) Bei den maximalen Fristen für das Audit des Qualitätsmanagementsystems und die Produktprüfung, einschließlich
der Bewertung, sollte auch berücksichtigt werden, dass mögliche Nichtkonformitäten, die während der Prüfung
festgestellt wurden, angemessen weiterverfolgt werden müssen.
(16) Für die Konformitätsbewertung geplanter wesentlicher Änderungen am Qualitätsmanagementsystem oder an der
Produktpalette und -art sowie der Änderungen an dem genehmigten Produkt sollten Fristen festgelegt werden. Es
sollte eine maximale Frist für die Bewertung der Mitteilung durch die Benannte Stelle festgelegt werden, damit diese
entscheiden kann, ob zusätzliche Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten durchzuführen sind. Auch für diese eventuell
durchzuführenden zusätzlichen Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten sollte eine maximale Frist festgelegt werden.
(17) Auch für die Entscheidung und für die Ausstellung der Bescheinigung(en) oder des Nachtrags/der Nachträge zu (einer)
bereits ausgestellten Bescheinigung(en), hinsichtlich welcher der Hersteller die Benannten Stellen über eine geplante
Änderung unterrichtet hat, sollte eine maximale Frist festgelegt werden. Innerhalb dieser Frist sollte es den
Benannten Stellen möglich sein, ihre Entscheidung auf der Grundlage der durchgeführten Bewertung zu treffen.
(18) Die Benannten Stellen sollten die Frist für eine Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeit aussetzen, wenn der Abschluss einer
solchen Tätigkeit von weiteren Informationen abhängt, die vom Hersteller bereitzustellen sind. Die Frist sollte auch
dann ausgesetzt werden, wenn der Abschluss der Tätigkeit vom Beitrag der Europäischen Arzneimittel-Agentur
(EMA), einer Regulierungsbehörde, eines Expertengremiums oder eines EU-Referenzlaboratoriums abhängt, sofern
die Tätigkeiten der Benannten Stellen ausschließlich von diesen Beiträgen abhängen.
(19) Die Benannten Stellen sollten im Rahmen ihrer Qualitätsmanagementsysteme geeignete Vorkehrungen treffen, um
ihre Leistung in Bezug auf die Einhaltung der Fristen und die Übereinstimmung der in den Angeboten angegebenen
Kosten mit den tatsächlichen Kosten, die für Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten in Rechnung gestellt werden, zu
überwachen. Um sicherzustellen, dass solche Informationen von öffentlichem Interesse verfügbar sind und in klarer
und einheitlicher Weise dargestellt werden, sollten die Benannten Stellen Berichte erstellen, die Daten über die
Überwachung der Fristen und Kosten enthalten. Die Benannten Stellen sollten die Berichte auf ihren Websites
veröffentlichen, um die Transparenz ihrer Leistung zu gewährleisten und es den Herstellern zu ermöglichen, die
Informationen der einzelnen Benannten Stellen untereinander zu vergleichen, und sie sollten die für die Benannte
Stelle zuständige Behörde und die Kommission unterrichten.
(20) Die Benannten Stellen führen die erneute Zertifizierung von Medizinprodukten und In-vitro-Diagnostika auf
unterschiedliche Weise durch. Die praktische Anwendung der Anforderungen im Zusammenhang mit der
einschlägigen Herstellerdokumentation und dem Umfang der damit verbundenen Überprüfung führt zu einem
breiten Spektrum unterschiedlicher Verfahrensweisen, die von der gezielten Bewertung von bestimmten
Dokumenten bis hin zu umfassenderen Bewertungen reichen, die einen ähnlichen Umfang wie die ursprüngliche
Produktprüfung aufweisen. Dies führt zu großen Unterschieden bei den Verfahren zur erneuten Zertifizierung und
den entsprechenden Fristen und Kosten.
(21) Die Benannten Stellen sollten die erneute Zertifizierung innerhalb von vorhersehbaren Fristen durchführen, ohne die
bei der Erstzertifizierung durchgeführte Bewertung zu wiederholen. Informationen und Auszüge aus der technischen
Dokumentation, die bewertet werden sollten, sollten sowohl für die Erneuerung von Bescheinigungen des Qualitäts
managementsystems als auch des Produkts eindeutig angegeben werden.
(22) Die Benannten Stellen sollten sich bei der Bewertung des Qualitätsmanagementsystems, für das eine erneuten
Zertifizierung erfolgen soll, insbesondere auf Angaben im Zusammenhang mit Überwachungstätigkeiten, der
Einhaltung der geltenden Stichprobenpläne, Nichtkonformitäten, Korrektur- oder Präventivmaßnahmen und
etwaigen Bedingungen für die Zertifizierung konzentrieren. Bei der Bewertung sollte auch der Stand der Technik
berücksichtigt werden.
(23) Die Benannten Stellen sollten sich bei der Bewertung der Informationen über das Produkt, für das eine erneute
Zertifizierung erfolgen soll, insbesondere auf die vom Hersteller bereitgestellten Informationen über die
Überwachung nach dem Inverkehrbringen, Änderungen an dem Produkt, auch im Zusammenhang mit der
Entwicklung des Stands der Technik, und Aktualisierungen der Risikoanalyse konzentrieren.
(24) Die in dieser Verordnung vorgesehenen Maßnahmen entsprechen der Stellungnahme des Ausschusses für
Medizinprodukte —

Durchführungsverordnung (EU) 2026/977 der Kommission vom 4. Mai 2026 zur Festlegung bestimmter einheitlicher Anforderungen an das Qualitätsmanagement und die Verfahren für die Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten, die von einer Benannten Stelle durchgeführt werden, welche gemäß den Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 und (EU) 2017/746 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates benannt wurde

Bei der Anwendung der Verordnungen (EU) 2017/745 über Medizinprodukte (MDR) und (EU) 2017/746 über In-vitro-Diagnostika (IVDR) hat sich gezeigt, dass bestimmte Anforderungen des Anhangs VII MDR und des Anhangs VII IVDR uneinheitlich ausgelegt werden. Dies betrifft insbesondere die von Benannten Stellen an Hersteller übermittelten Angebote, die Fristen für den Abschluss von Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeiten sowie die erneute Zertifizierung. Mit der Durchführungsverordnung (EU) 2026/977 der Kommission vom 4. Mai 2026 werden die Anforderungen an das Qualitätsmanagement und die Verfahren Benannter Stellen präzisiert und klargestellt, um eine einheitliche Umsetzung sicherzustellen. Die Durchführungsverordnung enthält konkrete Regelungen zu verschiedenen Aspekten des Konformitätsbewertungsverfahrens: Angebote (Artikel 1): Benannte Stellen müssen die Mindestinformationen anfordern, um ein Angebot für Konformitätsbewertungsmaßnahmen zu erstellen. Dazu gehören Details zum Produkt, seiner Zweckbestimmung und spezifischen Technologien, um sicherzustellen, dass die Benannte Stelle für die entsprechenden Codes benannt ist. Hersteller müssen zudem Angaben machen, um ihre Einstufung als Mikro-, kleines oder mittleres Unternehmen zu ermöglichen. Die Benannten Stellen sind verpflichtet, ein transparentes und detailliertes Angebot zu erstellen, das auch mögliche Kosten für Überwachungsaktivitäten umfasst. Zur Optimierung der Effizienz sollten strukturierte Dialoge mit Herstellern bereits in der Vorantragsphase geführt werden. Fristen (Artikel 2): Es werden verbindliche Fristen für die Konformitätsbewertung festgelegt, z. B. eine maximale Frist von 30 Tagen für die Prüfung des Antrags und die Unterzeichnung des Vertrags zwischen der Benannten Stelle und dem Hersteller (Artikel 2 Absatz 2a). Für die Audits des Qualitätsmanagementsystems sind 120 Tage vorgesehen, während für die Produktprüfung eine Frist von 90 Tagen gilt (Artikel 2 Abs. 2b und 2c). Die Audits des Qualitätsmanagementsystems und die Produktprüfung sind parallel durchzuführen, sofern die erforderlichen Hinweise aus der Bewertung der einschlägigen technischen Dokumentation bei der Ausarbeitung des Auditprogramms berücksichtigt werden. Es werden klare Vorgaben für die Bewertung geplanter wesentlicher Änderungen an Produkten oder Qualitätsmanagementsystemen festgelegt. Auch für Änderungen an bereits zertifizierten Produkten sind Fristen zur Überprüfung und Entscheidung über zusätzliche Konformitätsbewertungsmaßnahmen vorgesehen (Artikel 2 Abs. 3). Fristaussetzungen (Artikel 3): Die Durchführungsverordnung sieht vor, dass die Frist der Konformitätsbewertungstätigkeit ausgesetzt werden kann, wenn diese von weiteren Informationen abhängt, die der Hersteller bereitstellen muss, oder wenn Beiträge von externen Instanzen wie der EMA erforderlich sind. Überwachung der Dauer und der Kosten (Artikel 4): Benannte Stellen werden verpflichtet, innerhalb ihres Qualitätsmanagementsystems geeignete Maßnahmen zur Überwachung ihrer Leistungen hinsichtlich Fristen und der Übereinstimmung der in Angeboten prognostizierten Kosten mit den tatsächlich berechneten Kosten für Konformitätsbewertungsaktivitäten zu treffen (Artikel 4 Absatz 1, 2 und 3). Um die Transparenz zu gewährleisten, müssen Benannte Stellen Berichte erstellen, die Daten zur Überwachung der Fristen und Kosten enthalten (Artikel 4 Absatz 4). Diese Berichte sind öffentlich zugänglich zu machen, damit Hersteller die Leistungen der Benannten Stellen vergleichen können. Erneute Zertifizierung von Produktbescheinigungen, von Qualitätsmanagementbescheinigungen und Entscheidung über eine erneute Zertifizierung (Artikel 5, 6, und 7): Benannte Stellen sollten die Rezertifizierung nach vorhersehbaren Fristen durchführen, damit die Zertifikate rechtzeitig vor Ablauf erneuert werden können, ohne die ursprüngliche Zertifizierung zu wiederholen. Die relevanten Informationen und Auszüge aus der technischen Dokumentation, die überprüft werden müssen, sollten klar für die Rezertifizierung des Qualitätsmanagementsystems und der Produktzertifikate identifiziert werden.

Italy Yes.
The Italian Competent
Authority has
established, pursuant
to Article 30(2) of the
MDR, the obligation for
distributors who make
medical devices
available on the Italian
territory to register.
This obligation is set
out in Article 14 of
Legislative Decree
2022/137. This article
provides that
distributors must
register in a national
database, providing
their information and
No (but with
exceptions).
The registration
obligation applies to
distributors. However,
Article 14(5) of
Legislative Decree
2022/137 allows, on a
voluntary basis, all
other economic
operators to register
and submit
information not
available in EUDAMED
concerning the devices
they make available on
the Italian market, in
order to ensure the
most complete level of
No.
If you place on the
market, you are the
manufacturer and
therefore you must
register in EUDAMED
and not in the
national database.
Yes, for distributors.
The fact that devices are
already registered in
other countries does not
exempt the distributor
from the registration
obligation if they fall
under the conditions
explained in the first
point (i.e. they make the
devices available in
Italy).
The Competent
Authority has

for clinical
investigations here

is no specific
information system
for the management
and notification of
clinical
investigations.
To date the
obligation exists in
the legislative
decree but is not
yet in force, as we
are still awaiting
the implementation
of the database for
distributors. We
have been informed
by the Ministry of
Health that this
