Executive Summary
The European association of medtech notified bodies, Team-NB, has adopted a revised code of conduct with a new section calling for unannounced inspections of device manufacturers once every three years at least. Compliance with these specific recommendations will be voluntary for the foreseeable future; they will only become officially applicable for Team-NB members once new legal requirements mandating unannounced inspections come into force – and this will not happen for several years.
