Q: Can FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and IEC 60825‑1 classifications be mutually recognized?
A: No, they cannot be directly equated – a harmonization process is required. Although both are based on similar scientific principles, there are differences in class definitions, test conditions, and specific requirements. FDA compliance is a U.S. legal requirement and must be separately evaluated and submitted. We can assist you with combined testing to meet both requirements at once.
