Medical  devices Manual on  borderline  and  classification

Manual on borderline and classification in the community regulatory framework for medical devices

ID 6024 | Update 08.07.2021 - Version 1.22 (May 2019)

Borderline cases are considered to be those cases where it is not clear from the outset whether a given product is a medical device, an in vitro diagnostic medical device, an active implantable medical device or not. Or alternatively, borderline cases are those cases where the product falls within the definition of a medical device but is excluded from the Directives by their scope. Where a given product does not fall within the definition of medical device or is excluded by the scope of the Directives, other Community and/or national legislation may be applicable.

Classification cases can be described as those cases where there exists a difficulty in the uniform application of the classification rules as laid down in the MDD (or where for a given device, depending on interpretation of the rules, different classifications can occur).

There may be cases where ‘claims’ of a medical nature are made for certain products, where those claims cannot be substantiated by technical, clinical and scientific data. If there is insufficient clinical, technical and scientific data to support the claims made, the product would not meet the requirements of the medical device directives and therefore may not be CE marked as a medical device. For such products no medical claim can be made.

Defining a given product as a medical device and interpretation of the application of the classification rules fall within the competence of the competent authorities of the Member States where the product is on the market.

Different interpretations of Community legislation occur, and, can put public health at risk and distort the internal market. Both issues are of great concern to Member States and the Commission. Therefore, the Commission finds it important to facilitate a dialogue among regulators and industry where diverse interpretations exist.

To this end, the working party on borderline and classification comprised of Commission services, experts of Member States and other stakeholders meet on a regular basis to discuss borderline and classification cases in order to ensure a uniform approach. The borderline and classification meeting’s primary aim is to provide for a forum to exchange opinions, and, possibly reach consensus.

This manual represents the views agreed by the regulators in this group, after a broad consultation with stakeholders, on products, or categories of products, which have raised doubts. The Commission, Member States and other stakeholders concluded that guidance is needed which goes beyond abstract rules and addresses their actual application.

However, please note that the views expressed in this manual are not legally binding, since only the European Court of Justice (“the Court”) can give an authoritative interpretation of Community law.

This manual does not relieve national competent authorities from their obligation to render decisions in these areas for any individual product, on a case-by-case basis. National authorities, acting under the supervision of the courts, must proceed on a case-by-case basis, taking account of all the characteristics of the product.

Therefore, this manual shall not “prescribe” which regulatory framework applies or how the classification rules must be applied by national authorities. Rather, it shall serve as one out of many elements supporting the national competent authorities in their case-by-case decision on individual products.

In particular, this manual does not prevent a national authority from consulting with colleagues from other regulated sectors concerned in order to reach a complete view on all aspects related to a given product.

This manual will be updated in the light of the outcomes of the discussions of the working party on borderline and classification issues.
