What this Low Voltage Directive exclusion for medical electrical equipment — electrical safety carried inside MDR conformity assessment check is screening
Checks whether electrical safety is dossier evidence or a separate national product certificate. Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

Annex II of Directive 2014/35/EU places electrical equipment for radiology and medical purposes outside the Low Voltage Directive, and MDR Annex I section 18.7 fixes the electrical-safety requirements for a medical device, so no separate Icelandic electrical-safety certificate exists for a device. Iceland is an EEA State rather than an EU member State: the directive binds Iceland through the EEA Agreement and is carried into Icelandic law by Iceland's own transposing regulation, which this round did not retrieve, so this row is bound to the Union directive as a candidate. Where the equipment is also radio equipment, reglugerð nr. 944/2019 Article 7 applies the same health-and-safety requirement with no voltage limitation and Fjarskiptastofa enforces it. The applicant's evidence is the MDR technical file with the IEC/EN 60601 series carrying the presumption of conformity.
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.
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 Iceland routes to check
EMC
Reglugerð nr. 303/2018 um rafsegulsamhæfi — EMC carried inside the MDR route for a medical device
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

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 Iceland scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.
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 Iceland?
- 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.
