To be placed on the Indian market, all medical devices must be registered with the Indian Regulatory Authority Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).<\/p>\n

For Class A and B medical devices, documentation must be sent to the State Licensing Authority, which issues the Form MD-5 certification. For class C and D devices, documentation must be sent to the Central Licensing Authority, which will issue the Form MD-7 (for class C devices) and Form MD-8 (for class D devices) certification.<\/p>\n

In addition to product certifications, as of October 1, 2023, all devices must present an MD-14 and MD-15 import licence. The MD-14 application process requires the submission of a Device Master File for each medical device and a Plant Master File for each production site. Once the Device Master File and Plant Master File are approved, CDSCO issues the import licence to market the medical devices concerned in India. <\/p>\n

The foreign manufacturer must appoint a local authorised representative, an Indian Authorized Representative\/Agent, responsible for importing the products and in charge of post-market surveillance activities in the territory.<\/p>\n

Timeframes and Costs<\/span><\/h3>\n
