VDE, the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies is one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe with more than 36,000 members. We are headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, and are represented in Berlin and Brussels as well as with 29 branch offices throughout Germany.
Biomedical Technology (BMT) / Biomedical Engineering ia a key topic of the VDE commonly supported by the DGBMT, DKE* and VDE Testing and Certification Institute.
The German Society for Biomedical Engineering (DGBMT within VDE) works to promote the development and application of innovative medical technologies in the country's healthcare system to help patients, heal people, and prevent disease. Physicians, scientists and engineers work closely together in the DGBMT to facilitate the cost-effective use of advanced technologies for diagnostics and therapy.
The DKE elaborates standards and specifications for medical devices and systems as well as safety relevant requirements for the protection of patients and users at an international level.
The VDE Institute is the “notified body” for active medical products according to the Medical Products Directive (93/42/EWG) and the Medical Devices Law (MPG). All tests and services relating to product safety, quality and usability make up the portfolio of the neutral and independent institute, including the certification and auditing of medical devices and systems as well as management systems in hospitals.
