Where our number appears

Four digits that travel with your device.

When we carry out the conformity assessment for a device, its CE marking is followed by our identification number, 3132. Hospitals, distributors and authorities across the EU can see which Notified Body was responsible.

  1. 1
    CE marking

    The manufacturer’s declaration that the device meets Regulation (EU) 2017/745. It lets the device circulate freely within the EU.

  2. 2
    Our number: 3132

    Identifies MCA as the Notified Body responsible for the conformity assessment. The same number appears in promotional material that mentions the CE marking.

  3. 3
    Unique Device Identifier (UDI)

    Shown as a barcode and in plain text. It identifies the device model and its production data, such as the serial number, so the device can be traced through the supply chain.
