It is difficult to make a one-time deal selling containers of various kinds of medical equipment. Any equipment offered in public tenders must have initiated the registration procedure in order to be permitted to participate in a tender, and the procedure must be completed before any contract is signed. It is crucial to have a Polish partner or representative to assist with the complicated certification process. A company registered in Poland must make the request for registration. The applicant may be an authorized representative or a distributor of a foreign supplier.
All equipment is tested technically.
If the producer is not already known by the certification agency, or the equipment is complicated, it may also require clinical tests. Certification is issued for a period of five years with the possibility of extending it for another three years. Medical equipment does not require additional tests for the Polish B safety certificate, which is required for many other types of equipment. When Poland eventually joins the EU, EU certification procedures will be introduced. Dr. Krzysztof Pachocki, Manager or Dr. Zdzislaw Rozycki 5.
