| 56 | ++Simpler and more effective rules for medical devices – Commission proposal for a targeted revision of the medical devices regulations |
| 57 | ++On 16 December 2025, the European Commission proposed a targeted simplification of the current rules for medical devices to make them easier, faster and more effective and further promote competitiveness, innovation and a high-level of patient safety in this key sector. The proposal will simplify EU rules for medical devices, support the digitalisation of procedures, and offer a modern, adaptive framework so that companies can respond to changing market conditions and patient needs: |
| 58 | ++Proposal for a regulation to reduce and simply rules on medical and in vitro diagnostic devices |
| 59 | ++The adoption of the Legislative proposal was announced in a |
| 60 | ++press release |
| 61 | ++. |
| 62 | ++The key elements of the revision are summarised in a |
| 63 | ++factsheet |
| 64 | ++, and in a |
| 65 | ++questions and answers document |
| 66 | ++. |
| 67 | ++Two staff working documents support the proposal: |
| 68 | ++SWD on targeted evaluation |
| 69 | ++SWD on cost savings analysis |
| 70 | ++The proposal has been submitted to the |
| 71 | ++European Parliament |
| 72 | ++and the |
| 73 | ++Council |
| 74 | ++. To become binding Union law, the co-legislators need to adopt the text by ordinary legislative procedure. An overview of this procedure is available in the |
| 75 | ++European Parliament |
| 76 | ++website. You can follow the development of the legislative decision-making process on the |
| 77 | ++"Legislative Observatory" of the European Parliament |
| 78 | ++. |
| 79 | + Medical Devices regulations |
| 80 | + The EU revised the laws governing medical devices and in vitro diagnostics to align with the developments of the sector over the last 20 years. The priority was to ensure a robust, transparent and sustainable regulatory framework and maintain a high level of safety, while supporting innovation. |
| 81 | + Two new regulations on medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices entered into force in May 2017. |
