2. Prepare Documentation

• Technical Documentation:
  • Device Description: Detailed information about the device, its intended use, and its design.
  • Manufacturing Information: Description of the manufacturing processes, facilities, and quality control measures.
  • Clinical Data: Results from clinical trials or studies demonstrating the device's safety and effectiveness.
  • Quality Management System (QMS): Documentation proving compliance with ISO 13485 or equivalent standards.
• Product Labeling: Ensure that labeling complies with Russian requirements, including language and content specifications.

3. Appoint a Local Representative

7. Certification Decision

• Approval: If the evaluation is successful, RZN will issue a certification confirming that the device complies with Russian regulations.
• Certificate Issuance: The certification will authorize the device for distribution and use in Russia.

8. Post-Certification Requirements
