Technical documentation section 6. Verification & validation:

6.4 Verification plan under MDR

The verification plan defines the structured approach and methodology that will be used to confirm that the medical device meets its specified design requirements. It is a core element of the product development and design control process, supporting compliance with MDR and relevant harmonized standards such as ISO 13485 and ISO 14971.

Purpose and scope

The purpose of the verification plan is to outline how the design inputs will be systematically verified through appropriate methods, such as inspection, testing, and analysis. It applies to all critical aspects of the device that impact its performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Content of the verification plan

The verification plan typically includes:

Verification methods

Verification activities may include visual inspection, functional testing, dimensional measurements, simulation, software tests, and laboratory analysis. All methods must be justified, documented, and capable of demonstrating objective evidence of conformity with the design specifications.

Regulatory alignment

The verification plan must be consistent with the overall quality management system and must ensure alignment with MDR requirements, particularly Annex II and Annex III. It also contributes to the risk management process by confirming the effectiveness of design risk controls identified during development.

Outcome and documentation

Successful execution of the verification plan results in a verification report that summarizes the findings, deviations (if any), and conclusion on whether the design outputs meet the predefined inputs. This report becomes part of the device’s technical documentation.
