Revised Format for MDD Harmonized Standards List

The Medical Device Directive suggests the use of Harmonized Standards to assure a device meets the Essential Requirements. The EU maintains a list of these standards at http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/european-standards/documents/harmonised-standards-legislation/list-references/medical-devices/index_en.htm

The list has a new, and easier to use, format. The list clearly identifies new standards with the word (new), colored in red with a note that announces the first publication of a standard.

The list, at this writing, includes the information from the Official Journal dated December 2, 2009.
