Are you a medical device manufacturer aiming to conquer international markets?
Why You Need an FSC?
With the CE marking in place your products can be legally marketed in Europe. The CE marking is an indication to show conformity to all obligations for medical devices, as required by the Medical Device Regulations.
However, for entering certain non-European markets a FSC must be provided by the manufacturer. It demonstrates, from the government point of view, that you place your products legally, with the CE mark, on the European market.
The FSC is issued by the Competent Authority of the country where the manufacturer or his EC REP / UKRP / CH-REP has his registered place of business. If the manufacturer is not situated in Europe, only the EC REP / UKRP / CH-REP is able to obtain the FSC on behalf of the manufacturer.
