For IVDR products, there is more and more information that is coming.

So we make a small summary with Andreas Stange from TÜV SÜD and then we will discuss specifically the Draft Common Specification for certain Class D devices.

Andreas will explain to you why we need these common specifications and if this is mandatory. He will also explain the problem that comes now when the transition date for certain devices were extended.

Andreas will also invite you to join TÜV SÜD if you are interested to be part of this Notified Body as an auditor. Multiple places in the world are looking for you.

I hope this will be informative to you.
