It appears that there are differences in the approach between National Competent Authorities concerning the implementation the Commission Notice 2021/C 8/01 on remote audits under the Regulations (EU) 2017/745 and 2017/746 (MDR and IVDR). Therefore, at this time, Team-NB is unfortunately unable to finalise and publish its aligned position on the uniform implementation of such remote audits by Notified Bodies. The application of remote audits under MDR and IVDR due to pandemic-related contact and travel restrictions may currently vary across Member States depending on the governance provided by authorities.

Team-NB have shared their Position Paper on remote audits with the Commission and Designating Authorities. The authorities have communicated that they are working together on different levels (national, European) in order to achieve a Union-wide harmonised implementation of the Commission Notice 2021/C 8/01. The Team-NB paper is currently on hold as the authorities work to publish a harmonised approach.
In the framework of the Notified Bodies position paper on the Commission Notice 2021/C 8/01, the task force is working to develop a list of criteria to decide whether a remote audit is justified. The document will be presented again to the Commission.
The Notified Bodies are reviewing the Commission Notice 2021/C 8/01 published 11 January 2021. We are drafting a consensus paper so that we can approach our designating authorities with consistent risk assessment criteria to apply to remote audits. We hope to share our consensus paper before the end of January 2021.
