Importer and Distributor obligations under MDR
We will be working with importers / distributors for our product. Possibly we will be importer or distributor ourselves for some products in future.
When checking MDR obligations for economic operators they should (amongst other obligations) perform a verification of medical devices they handle.
I have clear what needs to be documented for the verification but what I do not have clear is whether this verification obligation applies
- to devices that ere CE-marked under MDD and MDR or
- to devices that are CE marked under MDR only
I highly appreciate your help, best regards,

Considering Article 120, Paragraph 3 from the MDR, requirements that will be applied to MDD CE marked medical devices after May 2021 are: post-market surveillance, market surveillance, vigilance, registration of economic operators. Therefore, verification obligations apply to devices that are marked under MDR, and not to ones under the MDD certificate.
