China Medical Device Regulations

Understanding China medical device regulations can be complex, and the regulatory environment is dynamic. If you want to have market access in China with your products, the NMPA plans and standards for the quality and safety of medical devices.

Interesting and challenging

China Medical Device Regulations

Market access to China, with differences in language, culture, and compliance, could be challenging and require knowledge and support. 
Due to its large base population and growing aging population, China is a compelling healthcare market that presents numerous opportunities for foreign companies. However, understanding the practicalities of accessing the market and the China medical device regulations is not simple. It is challenging for many medical devices and in vitro diagnostics manufacturers to meet the dynamically updating regulatory requirements.

The route to enter the Chinese market

All you need to know about China Agent

To access the Chinese market with a medical device, you must acquire a Medical Device Registration Certificate from the National Medical Product Administration (NMPA). If you do not have a subsidiary in China, you have to appoint a local legal agent to deal with registration and after-sales service.
