nmpa standards october guidelines

NMPA issued the “2021 Medical Device Guidelines Revisions Plan” on February 9, 2021, in which 51 guidelines are affected. The revisions are aimed to facilitate manufacturers with local type testing and make guidelines more consistent with the international counterparts.

Importance of Device Guideline

The guidelines are prepared by the NMPA’s Center of Medical Device Evaluation (CMDE). It is not legally binding but highly recommended by regulatory authorities.

For both renewals and new registrations, medical devices need to meet these new guidelines. Even if renewals (required every 5 years by the NMPA) have no changes, manufacturers still have to prove that the originally approved products can meet the new guidelines. As a result, approved products still need to go through local type testing to show that they are current with these new requirements.

China Med Device, LLC has test engineers at NMPA testing centers to help you assess and expedite your type testing needs and shorten your renewal or new approval time. info@ChinaMedDevice.com.
