Legal Issues
In addition to legislation which applies specifically to the
medical devices industry there are a number of other areas where
ABHI aims to represent its members' interest.
The principal legislation where ABHI has concentrated its
efforts is:
General Product Safety Directive
(2001/95/EC)
Product Liability Directive (85/374/EEC)
UK Freedom of Information Act 2000
Data Protection Act 1998
( Please note that in the case of EU Directives, links are
only given to the source Directive and there may be subsequent
amendments).
ABHI has produced a Code of Conduct for the Medical Devices
Industry on the Processing of Personal Data.
Membership of the ABHI Legal
Issues Committee is on a restricted basis.
