    Hi All,

    Just wondering if anyone tried the test version of Eudamed yet?

    I was on the second step to enter the authorized rep information and do not know what "mandate validity dates" and "mandate document" is. Any guidance?

    Thanks!

    Could you provide the information to gain access to the test version of EUDAMED?

    I am not aware of a test version of EUDAMED.  Though due to the utter lack of transparency by the EC this does not surprise me there is some test website out there a few people have access to for testing.

    Please confirm or provide a link.

    The "mandate validity dates" and "mandate document" seem obvious. But I haven't seen any mention of open beta testing.​

    The first module was examined early in 2018 by 20 selected user representatives: https://www.emergobyul.com/blog/2018/04/eudamed-update-actors-module-testing

    According to the rolling plan, at the end of summer they were preparing a contract for an independent audit to determine if it meets specifications and is "fully functional" so it can go live, so maybe that audit has begun.  https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/36663

    The web address for the public access site has been announced, but it isn't up yet.  https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/medical-devices/new-regulations/eudamed_en

    Eudamed has bee in test for some time now, with the participation of specific invited organizations in what is know as "EUDAMED Playground", but it's not open. The participating organizations had to agree not to share any information upon accepting participation, so many line or whatever would not be in accordance with the requirements they are obliged to meet.

    I have not seen the test version, but I'm pretty sure I understand the requirement.

    You are probably testing functional specification FS-ACT-005: Manage association (mandate) between non-EU manufacturer and AR from the version 4.1 (the public version) of the spec. In particular FS-ACT-005.01 is, "Enable non-EU Manufacturers to enter Mandate information and to indicate whether the AR may or not submit incident reports and their corrective actions (Serious incident report, FSCA, FSN, PSR and Trend report) for devices covered by the mandate". FS-ACT-005.02 is "Enable Manufacturers to Change Mandate scope and/or dates".

    Article 11 requires that a non-EU manufacturer designate a sole authorized representative. Article 11(2) says, "The designation shall constitute the authorized representative's mandate, it shall be valid only when accepted in writing by the authorized representative and shall be effective at least for all devices of the same generic device group."

    I suspect the fields are asking you for the text of the mandate and its effective date.

    This is in the restricted portion of EUDAMED, so I'm not sure who will have access to the text of the mandate.
