Medical Devices

In China, all medical devices and products should comply with the mandatory standards of the state for medical devices. An overseas enterprise is required to register an application and the marketability certificates issued by state/local authority submitted by their representative office or legal representative in China to the Food and Drug Administration Department of the State Council.

The registration timeline depends on the functions and product complexity that will determine the necessary procedures to be applied for the particular categories.

Our team is will help you review, guide, and identify applicable information and specifications required.
