frequently asked questions

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India’s national regulatory authority governing medical devices and IVDs under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 (MDR 2017). Any medical device manufacturer based in Algeria seeking to export medical devices or IVDs to India must obtain a valid CDSCO import license (Form MD-15) before commercial distribution.

No. Foreign manufacturers outside India (including those in Algeria) cannot submit applications directly to the CDSCO. You must appoint an Indian Authorized Agent (IAA)—a legally registered entity in India holding a valid medical device wholesale or manufacturing license—to submit Form MD-14 and act as your official regulatory representative.

Form MD-14: The official online application form submitted by your Indian Authorized Agent on the CDSCO SUGAM/MDOnline portal along with technical documentation.

Form MD-15: The actual medical device import license granted by the CDSCO upon successful review and approval of the MD-14 application.

To apply for a CDSCO import license via Form MD-14, an Algerian manufacturer must provide:

Power of Attorney (PoA) appointing the Indian Authorized Agent (notarized and apostilled).

Free Sale Certificate (FSC) issued by the competent national authority.

ISO 13485 Certification for the manufacturing facility.

Device Master File (DMF) and Plant Master File (PMF).

Testing & Safety Reports (e.g., electrical safety IEC 60601, biocompatibility, sterilization validation).

While Algeria’s ANPP (Agence Nationale des Produits Pharmaceutiques) enforces its own national registration requirements, the comprehensive technical dossiers prepared for CDSCO—such as ISO 13485 QMS records, Device Master Files, and risk management assessments—provide high-quality, standardized documentation that helps streamline local ANPP homologation reviews.
