CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BODY · MEDICAL DEVICES

Medical device certification: rigorous, clear, predictable.

CertExe is a conformity assessment body dedicated to medical devices: agile, focused and committed to open dialogue with manufacturers. We are currently seeking designation as a Notified Body under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and accreditation from Accredia for ISO 13485 certification. We work independently and impartially, giving manufacturers clear points of contact, realistic timelines and transparent pricing.

ABOUT US

Built on expertise.

CertExe was founded by professionals who spent many years at different Notified Bodies, assessing technical documentation and quality management systems for medical device manufacturers. We have brought together our expertise, our methods and a shared vision to create a new kind of body: one that keeps the rigour we know well, while improving what we always knew could work better from the inside, namely communication, timelines and a clear path to certification.

We are currently seeking designation as a Notified Body under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and accreditation from Accredia for ISO 13485 certification; in the future, we plan to extend our scope to in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR). We are based in Italy and work with manufacturers from all over the world who need CE marking to place their devices on the European market.

We believe in a specialised body with hands-on management and carefully selected expertise; as a result, every manufacturer works with people who know their device and their file inside out.

HOW WE WORK

Expertise, responsiveness, transparency, predictability.

Manufacturers always know who is handling their file, where things stand and what comes next.

Dedicated onboarding

A structured start to agree scope, expected documents and timelines.

Completeness check

We make sure your file is complete and easy to navigate before the review begins.

Structured dialogue

Clear questions and findings, managed through a single tracked channel.

Dedicated coordinator

A single point of contact who knows your project from day one.

Realistic planning

Honest time estimates, updated if anything changes.

Transparent pricing

Activities and costs clearly set out from the quotation onwards.

We assess. We do not consult.

CertExe does not provide consultancy of any kind, either on devices or on management systems. Our training courses are general and not tailored to individual companies; technical responsibility for assessments and certification decisions is fully independent of management.

TRAINING

Regulatory training on the MDR and ISO 13485.

Free guides, recorded webinars and live courses, in English and Italian, delivered by professionals with first-hand Notified Body experience. Learn the requirements, the language and the expectations of those who assess conformity.
