The purpose of the attached form is to facilitate the approval of device licence amendments where the change involved consists of the addition or deletion of new catalogue or model numbers that represent non-significant changes (Section 34) and that are within the guideline of the various application types (Sections 28 to 31) of the Medical Devices Regulations.

  2. The attached form must be submitted with a copy of page 1 of the applicable licence to be amended.
