    Should a MDR Article 22 Statement of Compatibility be included with a Declaration of Conformity or should it be a stand-alone document?  Does anyone have an example of a such a statement?  Thank you.

    Hi Anon,
    the MDR Articel 22 statement should be a separate document. I do not have a current example, but maybe someone else does.

    Best regards
    Christoph

    Because an EU MDR Article 22 system or procedure pack Statement of Compatibility (SoC) has a different legislative purpose than the Article 19 Declarations of Conformity (DoC) for the components inside the system or procedure pack, then the SoC and DoC need to be prepared separately in order to avoid legislative mishaps.  For an example of an Article 22 SoC, my opinion is that Article 22(2) already contains a sufficient boilerplate.
