IVDR Certification with DNV – EU Notified Body #2460

Who we are

DNV is a designated EU Notified Body for IVDR. This authorization from European regulators allows us to carry out conformity assessments and issue IVDR certificates – a legal requirement for placing IVD devices on the EU market.

What is IVDR certification?

The In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR – EU 2017/746) is the European Union’s updated regulatory framework for IVD medical devices. It replaces the IVDD (98/79/EC) and introduces stricter requirements around:

  • Product safety and performance evidence.
  • Clinical evaluation and performance studies.
  • Post-market surveillance and vigilance.

Manufacturers must now demonstrate compliance through more robust conformity assessments, and many devices that were previously self-certified under IVDD now require evaluation by a Notified Body like DNV.

Who needs IVDR certification?

Any manufacturer of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices intending to sell within the EU must comply with IVDR. This includes:

Diagnostic and screening devices

Devices for diagnosis, screening, monitoring.

Self-testing and companion diagnostics

Near-patient, self-testing, and companion diagnostic devices.

Laboratory instruments and reagents

OEM and private label manufacturers
