For many companies, achieving ISO 13485 certification, applying the CE mark and finally exporting to Europe is a great victory. However, many companies forget that the EU is made up of 27 separate countries (Bulgaria and Romania being the newest members) and underestimate the complexity of dealing with language requirements and the use of symbols for each country. Will Germany allow English labeling for devices used only by a professional? Does Belgium require Dutch, French or German -- or all three?
In this presentation, we discuss these issues and also cover the use of symbols in packaging, instructions for use (IFU) and device labels.
EU Device Labeling: Issues and Requirements was presented by Dr. Jaap Laufer, .P. Public & Regulatory Affairs, with Emergo Group Inc. and aired on 2007-09-06. For more details, or to download this audio conference please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
