Claigan Webinar - New EU MDR CMRs and Allergens - Preparing for 50 new in-scope substances by 2028

OTTAWA, ON, March 31, 2026 /CNW/ - On April 8th, Claigan will present a webinar focusing on a major update to substances in scope of the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR). 

To maintain EU market access by 2028, device registrations must account for forty (40) new Carcinogens, Mutagens, and/or Reproductive Toxicants (CMRs) and ten (10) new allergens.

Every year, the EU updates their classification of substances under the Adaptation to Technical Progress (ATP) of the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging of Chemicals Regulation (CLP). Each update usually includes newly classified Category 1 CMRs (Cat. 1 CMRs). These Cat. 1 CMRs are regulated under section 10.4 of the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR).

Additionally, this year there are ten (10) substances with new scientific agreements as allergens in medical devices. Allergens are regulated under 23.4 (s) of EU MDR and need to be accounted for in device labelling, instructions for use, and the technical file. One of the major challenges with the known allergens is that standard sensitization tests normally conducted under EU MDR are not valid for any of these ten (10) allergens.

Key topics will include:

• Eleven (11) new CMRs under ATP 23
• Twenty-nine (29) new CMRs under ATP 24
• Ten (10) new allergens
• Risk assessment for applicability to medical devices
• At-risk materials and components
• Why standard EU MDR sensitization tests do not detect these allergens
• Compliance approaches

Note - due to the expected demand, there will be two (2) webinars scheduled on April 8.
