With a significant contribution from device imports, India is currently one of the largest international markets for medical devices. Before, medical device makers in India were free to sell their products wherever. Since 2006, all medical devices entering India must adhere to the CDSCO's Indian Medical Device Regulations. For particular types of medical devices governed by the Medical Device Rules, there is currently a formal procedure for medical device registration in India.
Medical equipment and IVD (In-Vitro Diagnostics) sold in India are governed by the CDSCO (Central Drug Standard Control Organization). The State Licensing Authority (SLA) and CLA jointly hold the approval authority, while the CDSCO is led by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) (Center Licensing Authority). Medical device production, import, sales, and distribution in India are governed by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945. Therefore, in India, CDSCO Medical Device Registration is required.
CDSCO Medical Device Registration is mandatory for all medical device manufacturers, importers, and distributors operating in India.
Documents are grouped the way CDSCO reviews them — business documents, product documents, and manufacturing details.
Each stage is a real, sequential step through the CDSCO Medical Device Registration process under the Medical Device Rules, 2017.
