NMPA: 247 Guidelines Impacted by 2023 Revisions Plan

nmpa guidelines for nanomaterials

The NMPA published the “2023 Medical Device Guidelines Revisions Plan” on April 4, 2023, in which 247 guidelines are affected. The revisions are aimed to facilitate manufacturers with local type testing and make guidelines more consistent with the international counterparts.

Significance of Device Guidelines

The guidelines are prepared by NMPA Center of Medical Device Evaluation (CMDE). They are not legally binding but are 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 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.

The NMPA Medical Device Guidelines Plan to be Established or Revised

The plan involves the guidelines for technical review for type testing, clinical trial and registration, and Indication for Use (IFU) writing. It impacts 63 newly established Class III, 66 newly established Class II and 118 revised Class II devices guidelines. For the complete list of guidelines please contact us by email info@ChinaMedDevice.com.
