Now providing global market access solutions for inactive, implantable & ophthalmic devices.
Few organisations are as trusted as UL when it comes to providing the knowledge, leadership and support you need to place your devices on global markets. And now, through acquisition of MDT and MDRS, UL has expanded our services to include implantable, ophthalmic and inactive devices. Time is of the essence - and UL aims to ensure you have access to complete testing resources, knowledgeable experts and complete regulatory solutions - so you can get to market first.
As one of the world's leading organisations for product testing and certification, UL knows what standards need to be fulfilled in the markets you want to enter. Originating in the U.S., UL now operates internationally with a diverse range of global conformity assessment services.
UL is expanding our global footprint and developing new and innovative services to support your business.
As one example of UL’s expanding value to the medical industry, UL recently acquired mdt medical device testing GmbH (MDT) and md registration support Ltd (MDRS). With this acquisition, we can now support our customers and a broader range of inactive, implantable and ophthalmic medical devices throughout the entire product lifecycle including being able to provide clinical and non-clinical testing services for regulatory and routine control purposes as well as advisory services. Save time to market by getting your certifications from UL – your single source. Visit either the UL stand or the MDT stand at MEDICA for the opportunity to meet our knowledgeable staff who will be able to answer your questions about certification, global market access, and regulatory services.

Secure your free product assessment for 3rd Edition and regulatory requirements.
Are you developing your product in accordance with the certifications you need for market access - and market success? The earlier you plan for certification the better.
Meet UL's technical expert and go through a free-of-charge, 45-minute product assessment. Our engineers will evaluate your product's compliance to international requirements and offer you vital feedback to help you prepare for certification. This session can save you a significant amount of time and costs which you might otherwise spend further down the line. Don't wait until certification to find out what requirements you need to fulfill.
The product assessments will be held on Thursday November 17th and Friday November 18th in German or English for medical electrical equipment related to 60601-1 3rd Edition. The assessment will also cover related requirements for risk management (ISO 14971:2007) and software life-cycle processes (IEC 62304:2006). A certification strategy will be recommended to you addressing your company’s needs based on your marketing plans, intended use and development stage of your medical device.
