The Implications for Manufacturers and Importers

This shift from mandatory registration to a licensing regime is not just a change in nomenclature. It brings with it a set of responsibilities and requirements that manufacturers and importers must be prepared for:

• An inspection will be mandated within 60 days from the date of application. This will be conducted by the Medical Devices Officers (MDQ) of the Central Licensing Authority (CLA).
• The purpose of this inspection is to ensure strict compliance with the Fifth Schedule of MDR 2017.
