China’s NMPA Implements New Medical Device Classification Rules – What This Means for Global Manufacturers
News:
As of September 1, 2024, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) will enforce new classification rules for medical devices. This update marks a significant change in the regulatory landscape, aiming to standardize processes and improve consistency across the board. If you are a medical device manufacturer or aiming to enter the Chinese market, understanding these changes is critical.
Key Highlights of the New Rules:
- Revised Classification for New Devices:
- The new rules clarify how manufacturers of newly developed devices can apply for classification, particularly for devices that differ significantly from existing products in materials, processes, or intended use. If your device doesn’t fit neatly into China’s existing Classification Catalog, you may need to follow a special procedure to ensure proper classification.

- Standardized Application Materials:
- The NMPA now requires more detailed information on each medical device, including its intended use, structural composition, working principles, and potential risks. This thorough documentation ensures the NMPA can accurately assess and classify your product. For example, if you are working on diagnostic devices, it’s critical to follow these guidelines to avoid delays.
