Hi Rob,

We just have:

Declaration of Conformity

We ACME Ltd hereby declare that all devices on the attached schedule conform to the appropriate requirements of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by Directive 2007/47/EC.

We further declare that ABC is appointed as our Notified Body to undertake the provision of Annex II of the Directive.

This on our letterhead and is signed and dated (with a list of our products and Class ref etc). The footer of the document references ISO 13485 (e.g. as referrenced previously), Issue Number etc. Never had any issue about how long it should be valid for from our NB.:2cents:

I also remember something like this, but also cannot find it. The only ones I managede to find are the discussion involving an NB - which as a clear guidance for the validity.

I've just performed a quick google search and found nothing.

The only clear thing is that you need to register the device with the CA in the country of your AR (and some other countries too as they have requirements for self-certified).
