The Codex4SMEs project provides diagnostics SMEs from North-West Europe with various workshops free of charge, conducted by experts from the network. Med-Di-Dia provides a choice of two different workshops.
-
Quality Management System (QMS) / ISO 13485:2016 Workshop provided by Med-Di-Dia
- Economic Operators Workshop
Expertise may be provided in small dedicated workshops with 3 SMEs in each. As part of the Codex4SMEs program, Med-Di-Dia offers two optional workshops. An SME can apply for only one of the two workshops. The selection is made on a first-come, first-served basis. The training will only be carried out after three SMEs have registered for the workshop.

Course will include:
- Background to the IVD Regulation and why the IVD Directive is being replaced
- Identify Economic Operators, including importers and distributors
- Recognise increased responsibilities of Economic Operators
- Outline mandatory requirements of Economic Operators
