Product Conformity Assessment by Way of Verification

Overview

The Medical Device Authority (MDA) of Malaysia requires certain medical devices to undergo a product conformity assessment to ensure they meet the necessary safety, performance, and quality standards before being placed on the market. The conformity assessment by way of verification is a crucial process that involves evaluating the product’s compliance with regulatory requirements through documentation review, testing, and other verification activities. This process is mandatory for manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices in Malaysia under the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737). The assessment is conducted by a recognized conformity assessment body (CAB), such as TUV NORD Malaysia.
