Partial or low-quality documentation inevitably leads to non-conformities that temporarily halt the assessment, extending the time to issuance. To avoid bottlenecks and ensure business continuity, it is essential to submit all materials as soon as possible. In this regard, ECM requires all manufacturers of legacy devices to submit their documentation <b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"497\">no later than December 31, 2026<\/b>.<\/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-f17edd6f71d48788ac5eeb402dbd97ba\"><strong>MDR MANUFACTURER OBLIGATIONS AND TIMELINES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>It is important to note that non-compliance with submission deadlines exempts the Notified Body from responsibility should certification not be granted before the transition period expires.<\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the deadline for the extension of Class III legacy devices is December 31, 2027; therefore, it is essential to submit the documentation IMMEDIATELY.<\/p>\n\n<p>ECM wishes to remind you that it is available to accept the transfer of new MDR applications for legacy devices, within the scope defined by the Notified Body itself.<\/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-e0646399acc7dbbcfe1866ff85548c70\"><strong>PARTNERSHIP AND STRATEGIC PLANNING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Our common goal is reaching certification on schedule.
