About this regulation

General Guidelines for Marketing Authorization of Medical Devices (EFDA/GDL/046)

The master marketing-authorization guideline: the application route, the dossier the Authority expects, how the application is screened and assessed, the decision and the certificate, with the annexes that carry the templates. Version 005, approved 05.06.2026 with an effective date of 25.06.2026 and a first issue date of 2022; the Document History table runs 001 (new guideline, 2022) through 005, so this version supersedes the third-edition guideline the earlier batch triage pointed at. The extract keeps 55 body sections located from the document's own contents, including the annexes (`ANNEX I` to `ANNEX V`, one of which is the application letter template), and the block labels are the numbers the body headings print — the contents writes "Annex III:- Application letter template" with a colon and a dash, which is the source's spelling and is not normalised.
