Elektrisko un elektronisko iekārtu un bateriju vai akumulatoru ražotāju reģistrācijas kārtība un samaksas kārtība par datu uzturēšanu, Cabinet Regulation No. 331 of 17.06.2014, in force 01.07.2014 (as amended by Cabinet Regulation No. 227 of 28.04.2026), is made under Article 24(2) and (4) and Article 31(3) and (4) of the Waste Management Law. § 7 requires a producer of electrical and electronic equipment to submit a registration application (Annex 1) to the registrar together with a document evidencing the advance payment referred to in § 37.1, and to be registered in the equipment producer register, which the registrar maintains; § 7.1 imposes the same on an authorised representative of a foreign producer within one month of being authorised; § 8 requires the documents for each foreign producer represented and a separate payment for each. § 22 requires a producer of batteries to submit a registration application (Annex 1.2) together with the advance payment referred to in § 37.2, the authorised representative's route being in § 23, framed by Article 56(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. The duty is therefore a producer obligation attaching to placing electrical and electronic equipment and batteries on the Latvian market. The data-maintenance payment is fixed in § 37: EUR 42.69 on registration and EUR 42.69 for each subsequent calendar year for equipment producers (§ 37.1) and the same amounts for battery producers (§ 37.2).
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 Latvia routes to check
Electrical safety
Low Voltage Directive exclusion for medical electrical equipment — electrical safety carried inside MDR conformity assessment
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
EMC
EMC Directive disapplied where MDR fixes the same essential requirements
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association awaiting review
Wireless / radio
Radio-equipment essential requirements, conformity assessment and market surveillance (Cabinet Regulation No. 215)
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Metrology
State metrological supervision, type approval and verification of measuring instruments (PTAC)
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Radiation
Notification, registration certificate or licence for activities with ionizing radiation sources (VVD Radiation Safety Centre)
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 Latvia 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 Latvia?
- 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.
