I’m a manufacturer of a Class I device – do I require a device licence?  An establishment licence?

Manufacturers will have to obtain a device licence for devices in Class II, III and IV. Class I devices will not require a device licence.

However, a manufacturer of Class I devices will be required to obtain an establishment licence, if he is not selling devices through a licensed importer or distributor.
