Classification Procedures

The NMPA regulatory process is kicked off by classifying your device. First, you need to go through the China medical device classification catalog, effective since August 1, 2018. You can find the category, subcategory, example of device names, product description and intended use for your device.

If not clear, you can look up on the classification results, released two or three times each year, for reference. When you cannot figure out the device classification in the catalogue and results, you will need to file for classification request.
