What are Common Specifications? Is this the same as ISO standards or any other guidance? This is what we will review within this episode with Stefan Bolleininger. In the EU MDR and IVDR, Common Specification is mentioned and it is a tool that the EU Commission can use.

But are you obliged to use them? In this episode, we will talk about a few common specifications. 1 published, 1 under draft, and some that are supposedly planned.
