Team-NB is the European Association for Medical devices of Notified Bodies.
BPG (Best Practice Guidance) Technical Documentation
In this position paper published at the beginning of October 2022, the NB-Team focused on Technical Documentation. Particularly, the document, namely “Best Practice Guidance for the Submission of Technical Documentation under Annex II and III of Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745″, includes important information that manufacturers should supply when applying to a Notified Body. In April 2023, Team NB published an updated version of “Best Practice Guidance for the Submission of Technical Documentation under MDR”.
The document aims at improving the timing and the quality of the documents that manufacturers provide for the conformity assessment of medical devices. Especially, this can be achieved by developing a unified approach on the expectations of such documentation.
