NSAI to speed up CE marking

THE National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) is targeting the €115 billion medical devices industry with a major investment that will speed up CE marking.

CE marking indicates conformity to the legal requirements of EU directives. By providing one of the speediest CE marking approvals in Europe, the NSAI is hoping to increase foreign direct investment into Ireland.

To enable this the NSAI, which has certified over 100 medical device products in the past year, will now establish a European headquarters for medical devices certification.
