Not just a yes or no

A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

Maintained country rule

What this Batteries Regulation not yet reflected in the national act check is screening

Identifies RoHS, WEEE/EPR, battery, recycling, and producer obligations without miscalling them safety certificates. A transition is identified; the applicable date and current status must be checked.

Requirement family: Environmental and battery obligations
Regulatory object: battery producer or authorised representative
Maintained rule status: transition not yet mandatory
Useful product facts: Battery chemistry/capacity, electrical equipment, importer/producer role, packaging, and market date.

A verified negative from a full-text search rather than an absence of research: the consolidated text of zákon 542/2020 Sb. read on the official e-Sbírka contains no occurrence of '2023/1542', and §78, on the conditions for placing batteries on the market, still carries only the mercury and cadmium limits of the repealed Directive 2006/66/EC. So the Czech act has not yet been adapted and no Article 55 designation appears in it, although §20(3)(b) already maintains a battery producers list inside the Seznam výrobců, which is the obvious candidate to be designated. Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applies directly in the meantime. Article 11(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 lets professional medical imaging and radiotherapy devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices restrict portable-battery replacement to independent professionals, and Article 11(3) lifts the removability duty where continuity of supply is needed for safety or data integrity.

How to read the answer

Classification is only the first layer

A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.

Product approval

A certificate or approval attached to the finished product, component, or radio host.

Dossier or import evidence

Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.

Site or operator licence

Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.

Country-specific scope

Other Czech Republic routes to check

Check every Czech Republic route →

Electrical safety

MDR electrical safety in place of the Low Voltage Directive

Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

EMC

MDR electromagnetic compatibility in place of the EMC Directive

Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

Wireless / radio

Nařízení vlády 426/2016 radio equipment conformity

Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Environmental / battery

Nařízení vlády 481/2012 substance restriction (RoHS)

Evidence may be required, but the matrix does not identify a generic separate certificate.

Environmental / battery

Seznam výrobců registration, with liability shifting to the distributor

Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Metrology

CMI mandatory verification of measuring devices

Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.

About this checker

A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination

Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Czech Republic scheme matrix and links each route to its official source.

Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.

Is this the same as medical device classification in Czech Republic?: No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?: No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
Is the result an official regulatory determination?: No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
