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 Bureau of Metrology — verification of measuring instruments check is screening
Checks whether a clinical measuring function needs model approval or initial/periodic verification. Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed. The source association has been reviewed. This does not verify every rule, date or product-specific conclusion; read the cited provisions and their limits.

The Биро за метрологија (Bureau of Metrology), an organ within the Ministry of Energy, Mining and Mineral Resources under чл. 4 of the Закон за метрологијата, operates the national legal-metrology system. Чл. 3 makes the protection of human health one of the purposes of the Law and requires traceability to be defined and ensured for all measuring instruments; чл. 21 subjects the measuring instruments covered by the Law to first, periodic and extraordinary verification; чл. 22 places the first verification on the manufacturer and чл. 23 the periodic verification on the holder of the instrument; чл. 26 and чл. 27 empower the minister to prescribe the verification procedure and to determine the categories and types of instrument for which verification is mandatory, together with the periods of periodic verification. A medical device with a measuring function therefore falls under the metrology regime in addition to its MALMED registration, and the Bureau's approved-type and verification regime applies to it.
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 North Macedonia routes to check
Electrical safety
North Macedonian electrical-safety evidence in the device registration dossier
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association reviewed
EMC
North Macedonian electromagnetic-compatibility evidence in the device registration dossier
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.
Source association reviewed
Wireless / radio
AEK radio-equipment opinion for non-harmonised frequency bands
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Telecom terminal
AEK telecommunications terminal equipment conditions
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

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 North Macedonia 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 North Macedonia?
- 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.
