frequently asked questions
What is the process for a German manufacturer to obtain CDSCO medical device registration in India?
To register a device, an overseas manufacturer must first appoint an Authorized Indian Agent (AIA) who acts as the local legal representative. The AIA compiles the technical dossier—including the Plant Master File, Device Master File, and free sale certificate—and submits the application online via the National Single Window System (NSWS) portal to obtain the mandatory CDSCO import license.
Does holding an EU CE Mark or US FDA clearance accelerate medical device registration in India?
Yes. Under India’s Medical Device Rules 2017, devices that are already approved by regulatory bodies in trusted markets like the EU or the US benefit from an expedited pathway. While you must still complete the technical filing, having prior CE or FDA clearance allows the CDSCO to waive local clinical trial requirements, significantly speeding up approval timelines.
What is the purpose of the CDSCO import license (Form MD-14 and Form MD-15)?
For foreign medical devices to be legally commercialized in India, an application must be submitted under Form MD-14. Once the CDSCO reviews and approves the technical and quality documentation, they officially issue the CDSCO import license under Form MD-15, which permits the legal entry and sale of the specified medical technologies.
Can a CDSCO license consultant assist with Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) registration in India?
Yes, standalone software and AI-driven medical devices are regulated under the CDSCO framework. A specialized CDSCO license consultant helps define the software’s risk class, maps out validation requirements (such as IEC 62304 compliance), and ensures your technical software dossier satisfies Indian regulatory expectations for a successful portal submission.
