What is CDSCO?
CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organization) Medical device registration is India’s national regulatory authority under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It is responsible for the approval, regulation, and monitoring of:
- Drugs
- Clinical trials
- Medical devices
- Cosmetics
If you plan to import, manufacture, sell, or distribute medical devices in India, CDSCO registration is mandatory.
Why is CDSCO Registration Important?
CDSCO ensures that only safe, effective, and quality-assured medical devices reach Indian patients. Without proper registration:
- You cannot legally sell or import your device.
- Your shipment may get stuck in customs.
- You risk fines, product bans, or legal action.
✅ Which Medical Devices Need CDSCO Registration?
As of 2025, most Class A, B, C, and D devices are regulated and require registration. Examples include:
- Class A: Surgical dressings, thermometers
- Class B: Catheters, infusion pumps
- Class C: X-ray machines, dialysis equipment
- Class D: Heart valves, implantable defibrillators
🔍 Check if your device is regulated on the CDSCO website.
