Entering the Chinese market offers tremendous opportunity for medical device companies, but it is not without challenges.

Our experienced consultants can provide insight on how to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape in China and guide you through the regulatory process.
Medical device and IVD registration in China
Medical devices are regulated by the National Medical Product Administration (NMPA), formerly the China Food and Drug Administration or CFDA. Manufacturers must register their devices with the NMPA before selling or distributing in China. The NMPA reviews all device applications, and has strict requirements for submission documentation, testing, and clinical data.
China medical device registration submissions and device classification
Your device classification determines the documentation required for your NMPA submission. Classification is based on NMPA Order 15 and the NMPA classification database. Device classification and their registration requirements are as follows:
- Class I – registration dossier – no testing reports
- Class II – full registration dossier and technical review
- Class III – full registration dossier and technical review
Manufacturers must submit a technical dossier that includes detailed technical information, clinical data, and quality documentation. China requires in-country testing for all Class II and III devices, although the NMPA may accept some of your existing testing reports. Testing requirements vary depending on your device type.
