International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) is a voluntary group of medical device regulators around the world, established in 2011, and builds on the foundational work of the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF).

IMDRF accelerates international medical device regulatory harmonization and convergence. The European Commission is one of the important stakeholders. For 2023 the EU undertakes the rotating role of Chair of the IMDRF Management Committee, while the European Commission will act as the Chair on behalf of the EU. The EU’s participation in IMDRF increases international medical device regulatory convergence. 

The most recent publication of IMDRF is the guidance concerning the information required in Medical Device Regulatory Review Reports.  
Conformity Assessment Bodies (CAB) rely upon these Good Regulatory Review Practices while assessing the technical documentation for medical devices. Medical device manufacturers aiming to comply with MDR will find this document helpful while preparing the submission of technical documentation to the Notified Body. We have provided the link below for you to download the guide, along with other interesting information.
