Recital 8

(8) This Regulation should apply without prejudice to other binding measures concerning specific activities or quality and safety standards for certain goods, which provide for special obligations and tools for monitoring, early warning of and combatting specific threats of a cross-border nature, such as the International Health Regulations (IHR) of the WHO adopted in 2005. Those measures include, in particular, relevant Union legislation in the area of common safety concerns in public health and environmental matters, covering goods such as medicinal products, medical devices, in vitro diagnostic medical devices, and foodstuffs, substances of human origin, such as blood, plasma, tissues and cells, and organs, and exposure to ionising radiation.
