Separate existing placed stock from further legacy placing
The transitional provisions allow devices lawfully placed on the market under the applicable legacy provisions to continue being made available or put into service. Further legacy placing remains subject to the relevant class/date, valid-certificate, QMS and application conditions and absence of significant changes in design or intended purpose. This is not a general rename/transfer sell-through grace period or permission to first place changed devices under obsolete labels.
- Check actual placing date, device class, applicable legacy status, certificate, traceability and affected labels.
- No universal stock duration following a brand, manufacturer, REF or legal-person change is established by this transition alone.
