CDSCO Medical Device Registration in India: A Practical Guide for Manufacturers

India's medical device regulatory framework is based on the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, with requirements that vary according to the device and its risk classification. CDSCO identifies four risk classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D, ranging from low to high risk.

For manufacturers entering the Indian market, understanding the applicable classification and regulatory pathway is one of the first steps toward preparing an appropriate submission.
