The CDSCO is the central authority responsible for the registration and import licensing of medical devices in India.

Registration Process: Classification, Grouping, and Requirements
Medical device registration in India involves a meticulous evaluation of the product’s risk classification, grouping, and specific requirements. Classification considers three primary factors:
Risk-based classification: As per the first schedule of the IMDR 2017, devices are classified into classes A to D, with D being the highest risk.
Reference class: The device’s class in other countries, especially if considered high risk, is also taken into account.
CDSCO device class list: The specific classification of the device in the list published by the CDSCO.
