The brief

Scientific Research and Innovation (SR&I) (previously known as NIBSC) is placing In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices on the GB market under EU IVD Directive 98/79/EC using EU Notified Body that issues CE certificates that are currently recognised on the GB market.

Since 1 January 2021, there have been a number of changes to Medical Devices Regulations 2002, introduced through secondary legislation - Amendment of the Medical Devices (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, to how medical devices, including IVD devices, are placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland).

Due to the changes, SR&I must appoint a UK Approved Body that can certify all Annex II List A and B IVD devices produced by SR&I that are placed on the GB market.

This appointment will allow SR&I to continue placing IVD devices on the GB market after transition deadlines and support NHS and NHSBT laboratories and other diagnostic laboratories in safeguarding patients' health and wellbeing.
