In accordance with the Law on Medical Devices, adopted by the Bulgarian Parliament during its session on June 12, 2007, and as promulgated in the Bulgarian State Gazette No. 46, some categories of medical devices must be registered with the Bulgarian Drug Agency (BDA). This registration is mandatory for medical devices that enter the EU internal market through, or if they are being manufactured in, the territory of Bulgaria.
The categories of medical devices that are affected by this obligatory registration are:

• Class Is and Class I Medical Devices;
• Custom-made Medical Devices;
• Systems and procedure packs;
• Systems and procedure packs subjected to sterilization before use;
