The European Commission also reminded of the approaching date of application of both Regulations:

On 26 May 2021, the Medical Device Regulation will become fully applicable, following the transition period. Please keep the revised deadline firmly in mind.

The corresponding date of application of the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR, Regulation (EU) 2017/746) remains in May 2022.
