The states that are part of the EAEU have signed a Protocol that amends the list of medical goods exempt from mandatory registration in the Union.
The updates affect several categories of medical devices:
- devices created upon individual requests from patients exclusively for their personal use;
- devices that were imported to provide medical assistance to specific patients in emergency situations;
- devices manufactured in EAEU countries for the purpose of export to third countries.
Additionally, the changes pertain to first aid kits, sets, and kits that consist of registered medical devices and medicines, intended for use within a specific country.
The Protocol will begin temporary action on February 19, 2026, and will come into force after the Commission receives the final written notification from the member states regarding the completion of domestic procedures necessary for its implementation.
