They will assist each other in the supervision and monitoring of notified bodies, in particular with regard to the need for expert assessment of parts of the manufacturer's technical documentation relevant to the professional agenda of the SCD.

Our Institute is a partner that will provide the Office for Technical Standardization, Metrology and State Testing with information from European working groups and we can certainly work together in the field of professional education,\"<\/strong><\/em> Tom\u00e1\u0161 Bor\u00e1\u0148, Director of S\u00daKL, appreciated the cooperation established by the memorandum.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\"Considering the division of responsibilities between the designing (\u00daNMZ) and competent (S\u00daKL) authorities at the national level, functioning cooperation and mutual information sharing are absolutely necessary to meet the requirements set out in the European Medical Devices and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (MDR\/IVDR) Regulations.
