Guidance on Classification of Medical Devices

MDCG 2021-24 Rev. 1 classification guidance. The official file still uses the 2021-10 path; the PDF cover is Rev.1 April 2026. Ingested as numbered sections sec-1 through sec-4-2, matching the official table of contents. Rule-level examples live inside sec-4-2 rather than as separate numbered chapters.
