Do CE markings apply to software like apps? Some quick searching seems to indicate it's mostly relevant to embedded software (and most search results are talking about medical devices embedded software).
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf you write medical software that runs on an iPhone then your iPhone is now a medical device, subject to CE marking.
- SahAssar 6y agoThat's exactly why I asked, since the parent said "I 'home-made' an iPhone app and gave it a CE mark myself." and I don't know what the CE mark would even mean in that context.
- nonsenseinc 6y agoThat is a very simple take on the quite complex situation that still differs in different states of the EU.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> That is a very simple take on the quite complex situation that still differs in different states of the EU. How complicated did you expect me to get in a HN comment? But I believe it's fact - medical software that measures or calculates on an iPhone gives you a medical device, and a medical device needs to be regulated in the UK, EU, and most other places. I was on the team that did among the first work on regulating this properly.
