Recent proposals to revise Regulation (EU) 2017\/745 (MDR) aim to introduce greater predictability, transparency, and efficiency into conformity assessment procedures\u2014objectives that are widely supported by Notified Bodies (NBs). However, the enthusiasm for bureaucratic simplification is accompanied by serious reflections on the overall resilience of the system.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1afcc218d24915da0130af7102ea8cc8\"><strong>CRITICAL ISSUES OF THE NEW FRAMEWORK<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>While process optimization is necessary, Team-NB and prominent organizations like Ente Certificazione Macchine (ECM) raise concerns regarding a potential reduction in oversight levels. The risk is that weakening surveillance could drive safety standards below those guaranteed by the former Directives, undermining patient trust and the integrity of market oversight.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another contentious point concerns the Commission&#8217;s economic impact assessment. In the eyes of experts, the estimated savings appear to be based on unrealistic assumptions that do not reflect the actual scale of Notified Bodies&#8217; revenues.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1d74672585ebca367dc5e19195e492f3\"><strong>TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Support for measures that reduce administrative burden and foster innovation remains steadfast.
