thanx chris for u r prompt response, i have been through the guidelines, our company is dealing with an IVD , of which two prototypes have been made and the device is under study at two centres[hospitals ], and its performance is compared with a gold standard method, so we are in the process to ce mark, for which categorisation is very vital, my question is will it fall under performance evaluation, then we could proceed with annex 8 for conformity
