Incomplete or poor-quality documentation inevitably generates non-conformities that temporarily halt the assessment, thereby extending delivery times. 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 no later than December 31, 2026.<\/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-dde42b2daad90292b0ef7b0b850cda6e\"><p data-path-to-node=\"2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">RESPONSABILITIES AND CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES<\/b><\/p><br\/><br\/><h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"><\/h3><\/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-44586a4e546d7054bea6701a8fc4064f\"><strong>A PARTNERSHIP FOR SUCCESS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Our common goal is reaching certification on schedule. To streamline this journey, open cooperation is key: maintaining a structured dialogue with the Notified Body can speed up the submission process and resolve procedural doubts.
