  • 1.  Registration of CE Class I Medical Device in Turkey

    Posted 08-Dec-2022 08:50
    Hello,

    we would like to register our auto-certified class 1 product in Turkey.
    We have a local distributor who act as Turkish representative and register our product into TITUBB via MoH portal.
    There are two steps during product registration on TR MoH portal:
    1- Document approvals
    2- Medical Device Registration

    There was no issue to pass the first step.
    During second step it requires a CE certificate that we don't have as we are auto-certified (we just have a Declaration of Conformity and a notification of "put onto market" from our competent authority: ANSM but it seems that it is not accepted) 
    Does anyone already register a class 1 device in Turkey?
    How to pass this step on MoH portal?

    Thank you.
    Stephane.

    Dear Stephane,

    Our importer/distributor in Turkiye registered our Class I devices for us.  Through a regulatory watch I found this and the importer concurred that it was correct as to what we needed in February of this year.

    TITCK published Announcement No. 2021/KK-4, which amends the provisions of Announcement No. 2020/KK-9 regarding the Apostille/legalization of certain documents for medical device registration. Some of the notable provisions are as follows: 

    • CE Marking Certificates, Declarations of Conformity,  ISO 13485 Certificates, Authorized Distributorship Certificates, and SIP Statement (MDR) without Apostille/legalization will continue to be accepted due to the COVID-19 pandemic
    • A 120-day extension for the submission of the Apostilled/legalized documents will continue to be granted, as well
    • No additional extension will be given for those documents that have been given a 120-day extension

    These provisions will be applicable from February 1, 2022 and until a new announcement is published.

    We do not have CE marking certificates either.  We provided our distributor: DoC, ISO certificate, Importer Agreement and a pdf of each product label showing each product number we were registering.  They now have all our products registered in Turkiye.

    Regards,
