Free Sales Certificate (FSC) for Medical Devices & IVDs

Home / Representative Services

A Free Sales Certificate (FSC) is an essential document for medical device and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturers seeking to export their products outside the European Union (EU). At EUmAccess GmbH, we assist manufacturers in obtaining FSCs from the relevant EU Competent Authorities, ensuring smooth international trade and regulatory compliance.

What is a Free Sales Certificate (FSC)?

A Free Sales Certificate (FSC) is an official document issued by an EU Competent Authority confirming that:

  • The medical device or IVD is CE-marked and compliant with MDR (2017/745) or IVDR (2017/746)
  • The product is legally marketed within the EU/EEA
  • The manufacturer has met all regulatory and safety requirements

Many non-EU countries require an FSC as part of the registration process before allowing medical devices into their markets.
