Medical Device Registration
All medical devices, whether manufactured domestically or imported, must be registered with local regulatory authorities before they can be placed on the market, with some exceptions and exemptions.
Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam are signatories to the ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD), harmonizing medical device registration in Southeast Asia. The AMDD introduced the Common Submission Dossier Template (CSDT) for a standardized submission process; each country still has unique requirements for medical device registration.

Medical Device Registration in Southeast Asia
The medical device registration processes, product classifications, and conditions for product groupings differ widely between countries. Registration fees and timelines vary from 5 to 280 days, along with the validity periods of market clearance certificates.
Some countries allow product renewals, change notifications, and license transfers, while others do not. Therefore, it’s important to work with a distributor or authorized representative who understands the intricacies of medical device registration in Southeast Asia, ensuring long-term compliance and market availability.
