[F1UK marking] of general medical devicesE+W+S
10.—(1) Subject to regulations 12 and 14, no person shall place on the market or put into service a relevant device unless, where practical and appropriate, that device or its sterile pack bears a [F2UK marking] which—
(a)meets the requirements set out in [F3Annex 2 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008];
(b)is in a visible, legible and indelible form; and
(c)is accompanied by any relevant [F4approved body] or conformity assessment body identification number for that device.
(2) Subject to regulations 12 and 14, no person shall supply a relevant device unless, where practical and appropriate, that device or its sterile pack bears a [F5UK marking] which—
(a)meets the requirements set out in [F6Annex 2 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008];
(b)is in a visible, legible and indelible form; and
(c)is accompanied by any relevant [F7approved body] or conformity assessment body identification number for that device,
if that supply is also a placing on the market or putting into service, or if that supply is of a device that has been placed on the market or put into service.
(3) Subject to regulations 12 and 14, no person shall place on the market or put into service a relevant device unless [F8a UK marking meeting the requirements of Annex 2 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008], appears on—
(a)any sales packaging for that device; and
(b)the instructions for use for the device,
and that [F9UK marking] is accompanied by any relevant [F10approved body] or conformity assessment body identification number for that device.
(4) Subject to regulations 12 and 14, no person shall supply a relevant device (if that supply is also a placing on the market or putting into service, or if that supply is of a device that has been placed on the market or put into service) unless [F11a UK marking meeting the requirements of Annex 2 of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008], appears on—
(a)any sales packaging for that device; and
(b)the instructions for use for the device,
and that [F12UK marking] is accompanied by any relevant [F13approved body] or conformity assessment body identification number for that device.
(5) No person shall affix any mark or inscription to, or provide any information comprising a mark or inscription on—
(a)a relevant device or its sterile pack;

(c)any sales packaging for a relevant device,
which is likely to mislead a third party with regard to the meaning or the graphics of the [F14UK marking] or which reduces the visibility or the legibility of the [F14UK marking].
[F15(6) In this regulation, where a device is required to bear a UK marking which meets the requirements of Annex 2 of Regulation (EU) No 765/2008, the requirement as to the minimum size of the UK marking specified in section 3 of that Annex is to be understood—
(a)as not applying where, having regard to the small size of the device, it is not possible for the device to bear a marking of that minimum size; and
(b)as allowing a device to bear a UK marking of a size less than that minimum size provided that mark continues to meet the requirements as to visibility, legibility and indelibility in paragraphs (1) and (2).]
