The devices which are being launched in the EU market now must comply with these regulations and shall be CE certified as per EU MDR by the Notified Bodies accredited under these regulations. The devices which have already been CE certified as per EU MDD however, have grace periods before they have to fully comply with the EU MDR requirements.
