Considering the reduction of the tax barriers to international trade, the technical standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment proceedings are becoming important protectionist and trade restriction mechanisms. This paper aims to study these questions, focusing mainly the case of medical devices produced by the small and medium Brazilian’s companies and exported to European Union. A bibliography revision is done to identify and to compare the technical standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment proceedings for the medical devices, in European Union and Brazil. A survey is developed with small and medium producers and exporters of medical devices, searching the difficulties, ways of overcoming them, and the support obtained. The conclusion is that there are no technical barriers and the difficulties faced by the producers can be overcome through the participation in standardization forum, the technical support of the technological institutes, the financial support of the governmental promotion agencies, and investment in research, development and innovation.Downloads
