Accurate and complete technical documentation is essential for obtaining regulatory approvals, such as CE marking or FDA clearance, and for maintaining market access. Incomplete technical documentation leads to delays in product clearance and therefore market access. In the survey published in February 2024 by EC, the notified bodies communicated that 17% of the submitted documentation was incomplete. The challenges include understanding and interpreting complex regulatory requirements, maintaining up-to-date documentation, and ensuring that all necessary information is included (a.k.a. completeness check). Writing and assessing technical documentation effectively is crucial for achieving compliance and facilitating successful regulatory submissions.
