7. Guidance for Class I medical devices

Last Updated on 06/11/2025 by Sarah Sarsby

MHRA – Guidance on Class I Medical Devices: Although derivative of the full guidance in Sections 7-8 above, this advice on Class I medical devices – eligible for self-certification in most cases because of their low risk profile – is a useful guide; e.g. MHRA lists areas that must be covered by a manufacturer’s Technical File; in summary these are:

  • Product Description
  • Raw Material and Component Documentation
  • Intermediate Product and Sub-Assembly Documentation
  • Final Product Documentation
  • Packaging and Labelling Documentation
  • Packaging Specifications / Copies of All Labels / Any Instructions for Use
  • Design Verification
  • Risk Analysis
  • Compliance Requirements (per UK MDR 2002, Part II, Annex I (as modified by UK MDR 2002, Schedule 2A, Part II))
  • Clinical Evaluation (per UK MDR 2002, Part II, Annex X (as modified by UK MDR 2002, Schedule 2A, Part II))
  • Declaration of Conformity (per UK MDR 2002, Part II, Annex VII (as modified by UK MDR 2002, Schedule 2A, Part II))
