Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2020/12 of 2 August 2019 supplementing Directive (EU) 2017/2397 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the standards for competences and corresponding knowledge and skills, for the practical examinations, for the approval of simulators and for medical fitness (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 12)

ANNEX IV STANDARDS FOR MEDICAL FITNESS

MEDICAL FITNESS CRITERIA FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS (GENERAL FITNESS, VISION AND HEARING)

Notes to the table and the Appendices:

* Recurrence rates:

Where the terms very low and low are used for the excess likelihood of a recurrence. Those are essentially clinical judgements but for some conditions quantitative evidence on the likelihood of recurrence is available. Where that is available, e.g. for seizure and cardiac events, it may indicate the need for additional investigations to determine an individual’s excess likelihood of a recurrence. Quantitative recurrence levels approximate to:

very low: recurrence rate less than 2 per cent per year;

low: recurrence rate 2–5 per cent per year.
