What they argued
EuromContact, representing manufacturers of contact lenses and lens care products, welcomes the targeted revision of the MDR and its objectives to streamline and future-proof the regulatory framework by reducing the administrative burden and enhancing predictability and cost-efficiency, while preserving a high level of public health and patient safety.
EuromContact strongly supports the general objective for the revision of Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste to transform it into a regulation and tackle the environmental impact of packaging and packaging waste. The contact lens and lens care manufacturers have substantially minimized the packaging for their products.
EuromContact agrees with the initial postulate of the proposal : many devices which may be placed on the market in accordance with the initial MDR transitional provisions are not going to be certified in accordance with that Regulation before the end of the transition period, which leads to a major risk of shortages of medical devices in the EU.
The European association representing manufacturers of contact lenses and lens care products, EuromContact, welcomes the opportunity to comment on the draft Commission implementing regulation developed under Article 24 of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).
EuromContact, the European association representing manufacturers of contact lenses and lens care products, welcomes this consultation and agrees with the assessment that MDR implementation has shown inconsistent and divergent interpretations of certain requirements set out in MDR Annex VII, especially as regards the timelines for completing conformity assessment activities and re-certification.
EUROMCONTACT is the association representing the contact lens and lens care products manufacturers in the European Union. We represent more than 90% of the soft contact lens and 80% of the contact lens care products, and more than 50% of the rigid contact lenses in the European market.
