A request for an FSC needs to be accompanied by the following information:

  • the name(s) of the medical device(s) concerned. If a medical device class I is concerned, the device has to be registered at the CIBG. If you have not yet applied at the CIBG, this still should be done.
    If devices class IIa, IIb and III are concerned, the related CE-certificates (issued by a Notified Body) have to be enclosed.
  • the country/countries of destination (each country requires a separate FSC) and, if applicable, specific demands of the country concerned.
  • the number of copies per country.

In vitro diagnostics (Directive 98/79/EC):

  • the name(s) of the IVD’s concerned. For IVD’s of a higher risk class (class A, class B, self-tests) the related CE-certificates (issued by a Notified Body) have to be enclosed. For all other IVD’s please include the original registration form.
  • the country/countries of destination (each country requires a separate FSC) and, if applicable, specific demands of the country concerned.
