Part 4: Medical Devices Chapter 1: Regulations: General Section 17: Fees, information, offences
Section 17 lists further matters relating to medical devices that regulations made under section 15(1) can cover. This list is exhaustive.
	Subsection (1)(a) allows for regulations to be made about fees in respect of functions conferred by a medical device provision. A medical device provision is a provision of regulations made under section 15(1) or a provision of the MDRs, including the function of charging fees by a person appointed under regulations made in reliance on section 16(1)(c).
Example (7): Fees
The MHRA currently requires fees to be paid:
by any person registering certain devices (£100 per registration) with the MHRA.
by manufacturers of all classes of devices for clinical investigations in the UK. These fees vary by class of device.
by Notified Bodies for the work involved in monitoring them.
to issue a Certificate of Free Sale that supports the export of products.
All fees charged by MHRA, other than fees for Certificate of Free Sale, are standardised within the MDR and operate on a cost-recovery basis.
	Subsection (1)(b) allows provision to be made about the recording of information in relation to the safety and efficacy of medical devices (including information as to whether or not devices comply with applicable relevant requirements).
	Subsection (1)(c) allows provision to be made permitting or requiring the information referred to in subsection (1)(b) to be disclosed to the Secretary of State or to persons appointed under section 16(1)(c).
	Subsection (1)(d) provides the Secretary of State with the ability to amend the list of regulations set out in the schedule to the MDR (offences of breaching provisions in the MDR), which is inserted by Schedule 3 to this Act.
	Subsection (2) provides a definition for "medical devices provision" (that is, a provision in regulations made under the power at section 15(1) or a provision in the MDR).
