CDSCO import and manufacturing license approval for medical devices – we support manufacturers in securing CDSCO approvals through a structured regulatory and licensing strategy. Our services include device classification, regulatory pathway planning, and execution of both import and manufacturing license applications. With strong documentation and regulatory alignment, we help achieve timely approvals with minimal observations, enabling compliant market entry and launch in India.

As a CDSCO consultant India companies can rely on, Operon prepares and files your application and handles agency queries until approval. Foreign manufacturers file through an Indian Authorized Agent that holds a wholesale licence (Forms 20B and 21B/21C) and a power of attorney, so we also coordinate that set-up and handle SUGAM registration for the agent where needed. As a medical device regulatory consultant India-wide, we also support licensing, QMS readiness, and post-market compliance. Our guides cover the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, CDSCO classification, the CDSCO import licence, and licensing timelines. For other markets, see global product registration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Device Registration India

CDSCO registration is the regulatory process for obtaining the required approvals and licenses to manufacture, import, or market applicable medical devices and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) products in India under the country’s medical device regulatory framework. CDSCO medical device registration covers two main routes: an import licence (Forms MD-14 and MD-15) and a manufacturing licence (MD-5 for Class A and B, MD-9 for Class C and D).

A CDSCO registration consultant can assist with product classification, regulatory pathway assessment, documentation, application preparation, licensing requirements, and regulatory submissions to help manufacturers and importers comply with applicable CDSCO requirements.

Medical device registration India applies to medical devices and IVDs placed on the Indian market, which are regulated under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017. The route depends on the product type, classification, and whether it is manufactured in India (manufacturing licence) or imported (import licence through an Indian Authorized Agent).

CDSCO classification sorts medical devices by risk level into Class A, B, C, and D, with different regulatory requirements for each class. The classification helps determine the licensing authority and pathway: the State Licensing Authority for Class A and B manufacturing, and the Central Licensing Authority for Class C and D manufacturing and for imports.

The CDSCO medical device registration timeline varies depending on the device or IVD classification, type of application, completeness of documentation, testing requirements, and the applicable regulatory approval pathway. Complete CDSCO registration documents, including the dossier and, for imports, the Device Master File and Plant Master File, help avoid delays. CDSCO registration fees follow the Second Schedule of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 and are paid online at submission.
