\n<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n– Can an authorized representative (AR) of a non-resident manufacturer draft and sign a declaration on conformity of medical products on its behalf?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n– According to Art. 28 of the Law of Ukraine “On Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment” (hereinafter, the Law), the AR can draft and sign a declaration on conformity of medical products with technical regulations (TR), but only on behalf of and under\u00a0 <\/span>responsibility of the manufacturer. For this purpose, the AR must have the properly authorized powers in the territory of Ukraine. As a rule, such powers are specified in the contract between the manufacturer and the AR.<\/span><\/p>\nIf the conformity assessment procedures are applied by auditing the quality management system in accordance with Appendices 3, 6 and 7, then the declaration is drawn up and signed only by the manufacturer. In some cases and in the presence of a power of attorney, a representative office in Ukraine of a non-resident producer may also sign the declaration.<\/span><\/p>\n– Can the AR formalize the declaration in two languages <\/i><\/span> <\/i>simultaneously with a single document?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n– According to Art. 28 of the Law, the declaration must be drawn up in the state language of Ukraine \u2013 Ukrainian, or necessarily translated into Ukrainian. Earlier we faced a problem when some non-residents refused to sign a declaration drafted only in Ukrainian (in view of the language barrier). Therefore, we offer the applicants to execute a single declaration in two languages, e.g. English and Ukrainian.<\/span><\/p>\n– Is it necessary to certify the declaration of conformity in the conformity assessment body (CAB), because sometimes the regulatory authorities demanded the seal of the CAB to be affixed on the declaration?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n– The requirement of the competent authorities for the seal of the CAB on the declaration is groundless. According to Art. 28 of the Law, the manufacturer, by drawing up the declaration, assumes responsibility for conformity of the products with the requirements of the TR. In this case, the TR does not set forth the structure or form of the declaration. According to Art. 41 of the Law, the responsibilities of the CAB do not include the need to approve the declaration. Thus, the declaration is signed only by the manufacturer and is not registered by the CAB.<\/span><\/p>\n– Who should approve translations of sample instructions for use and marking, as well as other technical documents, if the manufacturer is a non-resident of Ukraine?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n– The TR specifies that information for users or consumers of medical products should be stated in the Ukrainian language. However, the Law and the TR do not specify the responsibilities of the CAB for determining the quality of the translation, including the label and instruction. It means that the manufacturer submits such information in Ukrainian on its own responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\nThe requirement to present information in the state language of Ukraine also applies to records and correspondence that accompany the conformity assessment procedure. However, there is no requirement in the TR to approve the translation of such information, and there are no restrictions as to who makes the translation.<\/span><\/p>\nRecords mean documents drawn up by the auditor during the assessment process. Correspondence, as the application for conformity assessment, must also be executed in the state language of Ukraine. Therefore, Improve Medical made the application form in two languages <\/span> \u2013 Ukrainian and English \u2013 for the convenience of the clients. Documents of the quality management system may be provided to the CAB in a foreign language. However, note that the market surveillance authorities may require translation of the documents.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you have<\/em>\u00a0any\u00a0questions<\/em>, comments, or concerns, please\u00a0call us<\/em>\u00a0at +380 44 3555030<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tatyana Pazerskaya, a specialist with 19 years of experience, Director and Chief Auditor of Improve Medical, the conformity assessment body in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[54,51,52,53],"class_list":["post-3167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-legalizacija-medizdelij","tag-medicinskie-izdelija","tag-ocenka-sootvetstvija","tag-tehnicheskie-reglamenty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3167\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/improvemed.com.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
