Expert Software CE Marking Support for SaMD Manufacturers

The introduction of MDR 2017/745 significantly changed the regulatory landscape for medical software in Europe. Standalone medical software is now considered an active medical device, and any software meeting the definition of a medical device must obtain CE marking before it can be placed on the European market.

Software manufacturers often face unique challenges, including software classification, technical documentation requirements, clinical evaluation expectations, and ongoing compliance obligations. Cert3Global provides structured Software CE Marking Services that help manufacturers understand these requirements and implement a practical compliance strategy.

Our approach focuses on simplifying complex regulatory requirements while helping software companies prepare accurate documentation and establish a clear pathway toward certification.

What is Software CE Marking?

Software CE Marking is the process of demonstrating that medical software complies with applicable European regulatory requirements. For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), CE marking indicates that the software meets the safety, performance, and risk management requirements established under EU MDR 2017/745 or EU IVDR 2017/746.
Medical software may include:
  • Clinical decision support software
  • Diagnostic applications
  • Monitoring applications
  • Medical mobile applications
  • Software that processes patient information for clinical purposes
  • Standalone Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)
Not all healthcare software automatically qualifies as a medical device. The intended purpose of the software determines whether it falls under MDR or IVDR requirements. Software designed for diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, prediction, or informing clinical decisions may require CE marking before commercialization in Europe.

Does Standalone Medical Software Require CE Marking?

Yes. Any standalone software that meets the definition of a medical device under EU MDR 2017/745 or EU IVDR 2017/746 must carry CE marking before being placed on the European market.
Since the implementation of MDR, medical software has become subject to more rigorous regulatory requirements. Manufacturers must demonstrate that the software is safe, performs as intended, and is supported by adequate technical and clinical evidence.
Obtaining CE marking is not simply an administrative requirement. It establishes regulatory compliance and enables manufacturers to legally market their software across the European Economic Area.

Key Benefits:

  • Legal access to the European market
  • Demonstrated compliance with MDR and IVDR requirements
  • Increased confidence among users and healthcare organizations
  • Reduced risk of regulatory delays and market restrictions
