answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>Since January 2021 designated UK Approved Bodies have been able to issue UK Conformity Assessed certificates for medical devices and in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) that require certification by a conformity assessment body prior to the device being placed on the Great Britain market. Low risk medical devices and IVDs do not require Approved Body certification. Approved Bodies issue certificates attesting that the manufacturers Quality Management System complies with regulatory requirements as well as issuing certificates that confirm the devices themselves comply with the requirements. Certificates issued by an Approved Body generally cover more than one device, so the number of certificates does not equate to the number of devices that have been certified.
