Amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/607 32023R0607
applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2023-03-20, 2024-09-26, 2026-05-26, 2027-12-31, 2028-12-31 · dates removed: 2024-05-27, 2025-05-26
The single 2024/2025 sunset dates for certificates and devices under the old paragraphs 2 to 4 are replaced by a more detailed set of risk-class-based deadlines running through 2027 and 2028, together with new conditions on certificate validity and on when manufacturers must have signed agreements or lodged applications with notified bodies.
New paragraphs 3a through 3f are introduced, setting out specific placing-on-the-market deadlines by device class, conditions for extended validity, post-market surveillance rules, surveillance transfer arrangements between notified bodies, and a separate rule for class III custom-made implantable devices.
Paragraph 4 is reworded so that continued availability on the market or putting into service of devices already placed under paragraphs 3, 3a, 3b and 3f is no longer tied to the previously stated end date.

no amending act named
applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 2024-05-26, 2025-05-26 · dates removed: 2025-05-27
Paragraph 3 now specifically extends to class I devices under Directive 93/42/EEC whose declaration of conformity was drawn up before 26 May 2020 and whose conformity assessment under the Regulation requires a notified body, sets a placing-on-the-market or putting-into-service deadline of 26 May 2024, and ties continued compliance to 26 May 2020 rather than to the Regulation's date of application.
Paragraph 4's end date for continued market availability or putting into service moves from 27 May 2025 to 26 May 2025, and its reference to devices placed on the market by virtue of a certificate under paragraph 2 is replaced with a reference to devices placed on the market pursuant to paragraph 3.
Paragraph 8 now also derogates from Article 11(5) of Directive 90/385/EEC and Article 16(5) of Directive 93/42/EEC and adds compliance with Article 31(1) of the Regulation alongside Articles 29(4) and 56(5), while paragraph 10 drops the reference to point (f) of Article 1(6), retaining only point (g); paragraph 6 also replaces "prior 26 May 2020" with "prior to 26 May 2020."
