The United Kingdom (UK) becomes a full member of three international associations. In addition to the International Medical Device Regulatory Forum (IMDRF) and the US-based Medical Devices Innovation Consortium (MDIC), now also in the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Before leaving the EU ("Brexit"), the MHRA was a member of both the IMDRF and the ICH under the EU system, became an observer state after Brexit and is now a sovereign full member.
