NMPA Market Access

Invest in knowledge, train your staff

Training

NMPA Basic training

Since the Chinese Medical Device Regulation overhaul in 2014, the market has witnessed countless updates in its regulatory rules, technical guidance, and standards. Manufacturers which want to sell their medical devices and in vitro diagnostics to the Chinese market need to have a device registration with the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).

There has been a recent governmental reorganization where the formal regulatory body, CFDA (China Food & Drug Administration), integrated into the new CNDA (China National Drug Administration). This seems to herald more changes into the current regulatory framework. 

New requirements on clinical evidence, China Agent, overseas inspections etc. bring forth both opportunities and challenges for the foreign medical device manufacturers. 

The training

This training will give an overview of the Chinese medical device regulatory landscape and provide details which are essential for successful product registration in China. New regulatory requirements such as classification, China Agent, vigilance, clinical evaluation and clinical trial etc. will be included in the training as well.
