CFDA: Chinese Product Names Compulsory for Foreign Medical Devices
This new requirement is to ensure that users of medical devices have a better understanding of their functions. In its announcement the Chinese State Council stated similar requirements for naming medical devices in the USA, Europe, Japan and other countries.
In choosing Chinese product names several requirements need to be followed to be in compliance with the CFDA regulations. Some of the requirements include:
- Choosing a product name that directly refers to the product’s use/function
- If the device has different model versions and functions, there should be a common core word with not more than three additional words
- Product names should not include registered trademarks, company names or symbols
You can find further information about our services for CFDA registration on our website.
It is expected that there will be more announcements, revisions and changes to the CFDA regulations in the near future. In our News section on our website, we will keep you informed regarding the official announcements.
