What's inside

Five pages, zero fluff

Every figure in this guide traces to a named source — EU regulatory guidance and verified 2026 publications.

The EUDAMED mandatory dates

Decision (EU) 2025/2371 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1860: the four EUDAMED modules turn mandatory on 28 May 2026.

New vs. legacy devices

New devices register before first placement; already-marketed devices by 27 November 2026 — and EUDAMED is not CE marking.

The label-data sync

Label and database must match exactly, and UDI regimes are converging — Swissmedic, Bahrain, and beyond.
