GMDN & EMDN Code Research Services

Accurate Classification for Medical Devices & IVDs

At Alpine Quality Consultants, we assist medical device (MD) and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers in identifying the correct GMDN (Global Medical Device Nomenclature) and EMDN (European Medical Device Nomenclature) codes for regulatory compliance. Proper classification ensures seamless UDI registration, EUDAMED submission, and market approval under EU MDR 2017/745, IVDR 2017/746, and global regulatory frameworks.

What Are GMDN & EMDN Codes?

GMDN (Global Medical Device Nomenclature)
