Notified Body Comparison
Compare EU notified bodies side by side. Select two notified bodies to compare their certificate volumes, health metrics, legislation coverage, and expiry timelines.
How to choose a notified body
A notified body is an organization designated by an EU member state to assess the conformity of medical devices before they can be placed on the European market. Under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), manufacturers of higher-risk devices must obtain certification from a notified body.
When choosing a notified body, manufacturers should consider several factors: scope of designation (which device types and risk classes they can certify), capacity and turnaround times, geographic presence, industry expertise, and the overall health of their certificate portfolio. A notified body with many expiring or withdrawn certificates may indicate capacity issues.
Use this comparison tool to evaluate notified bodies based on their certificate portfolio metrics. For detailed information about a specific notified body, visit their individual profile page.
