This perspective provides an in-depth analysis of the role and tasks of Notified Bodies (NBs) under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). It explores the conformity assessment process and highlights typical issues encountered. It provides background on the legal framework and roles and tasks of Notified Bodies (NBs). It further explores the seven-step conformity assessment process which aims to ensure that medical devices meet European Union (EU) safety and performance standards. Finally, we highlight typical issues encountered during the process and re-cent developments in the area and conclude with an outlook for the implementation of the MDR and IVDR.
