The Ministry of Health Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency has been conducting studies since 2015 on the inspection and certification of the institutions that carry out the testing, control and calibration activities of medical devices in health institutions, and the certification of the personnel who perform the calibration measurements in these institutions through trainings. Medical devices that are functionally similar to each other were grouped under the name of authorization groups and certification trainings were started, and establishment authorization continued on the basis of these authorization groups. While there were 7 authorization groups announced to be implemented at the beginning of the process, 5 additional authorization groups whose studies were completed within the elapsed time were included in the system. In this paper, it is aimed to inform biomedical graduates who want to take part in the testing, control and calibration activities of medical devices by explaining these additional authorization groups.
