The Zentralstelle der Länder für Gesundheitsschutz bei Arzneimitteln und Medizinprodukten (ZLG) is a German public-sector organization serving the federal states in matters concerning health protection related to medicinal products and medical devices. Based in Bonn, it provides information and coordination across these areas, with resources covering national, European and international aspects of medicines regulation. Its medical-device work includes information about laboratories and notified bodies, as well as the designation of conformity assessment bodies and coordination relating to conformity assessment bodies in third countries.

The ZLG also supports specialist exchange through committees and publishes relevant documents, answers and decisions, including materials associated with the exchange forum for bodies appointed under medical-device legislation. Its website provides updates, guidance and administrative information for professionals and other interested audiences. Visitors can find details about the organization’s advisory board, the state treaty governing its work, and service contacts.

Through these activities, the ZLG brings together information and coordination concerning the regulatory structures that support health protection in Germany’s medicines and medical-device sectors
