The European Commission adopted Regulation (EU) 2020/561 in April 2020.
It revised Regulation (EU) 2017/745 for medical devices and postponed the application date.
Originally, the regulations for medical devices (MDR) were to be implemented on May 26, 2020, but the European Commission applied medical device regulations in consideration of the current situation in the world regarding the need for medical devices that are very important for the occurence of COVID-19 and medical treatment. Decided to postpone for a year.
Therefore, Directive 90/385/EEC and Directive 93/42/EEC are still valid until March 24, 2021.
Also, from May 25, 2017, certificates issued by certification bodies in accordance with Directives 90/385/EEC and 93/42/EEC are valid until the expiration date, unless they exceed five years from the date of issue.
