The CE marking may be affixed to a medical device only if it complies with the essential health and safety requirements referred to in Section 5 of this Chapter and has undergone the certification procedures applicable to it.
Where a device falling within the scope of this Title is also governed by other provisions transposing European Union directives and providing for the affixing of the CE marking, the latter may be affixed only if the device also complies with those provisions. If, during a transitional period, the manufacturer has the option of not complying with the provisions transposing some of the applicable directives, the documents, notices or instructions accompanying the products concerned shall mention the references of the directives whose requirements they comply with, as published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
