QS Zürich AG, a swiss Notified Body, had called it quits to follow its designation with regards to the new EU MDR. The CEO of the former said that being a small Notified Body, it was impossible for the QS Zürich to keep up with investments that were demanded under the new regulation of EU MDR.

The firm has established its significance as a certified body for the management system and as a Notified Body in Europe since 1998. The Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), a London-based firm, last week, cleared the request of QS Zürich AG's withdrawal permanently, under EU’s current medical device and in vitro diagnostic directives.
