The new regulations for EU notified bodies come with higher standards and are more demanding, stressing capacity. As a result, six notified bodies have been listed with warnings on Nando under up-to-date medical device directives for a lack of competence in testing products. Of the notified bodies with warnings, two come from Germany, two from the Czech Republic, one from Spain, and one from the UK. However, though these six notified bodies have been given competence warnings in some testing areas, some of them remain competent in testing other medtech directives.
