However, medical device manufacturers and EU authorized representatives must register products with the Norwegian authorities, all labelling and instructions provided by the manufacturer must be in Norwegian and registration must comply with the requirements of the Norwegian Directorate of Health.

In addition, all marketing materials must meet local expectations for accuracy, fluency of language, accuracy, clarity and readability.
