Who is responsible for “Term Assignment”, and what does the GMDN do to ensure correct Term Assignment?

The Manufacturer is responsible for assigning the correct GMDN Term to their device because they understand their device most comprehensively.

The GMDN Agency provides training to Manufacturers through an online module, user guides, webinars, and a code of good practice.

The GMDN has also built a new tool to help manufacturers find replacement Terms when a Term becomes obsolete.

The GMDN provides feedback on assignments to Manufacturers through its membership contacts and supports them through the GMDN enquiry service.
