Class A Import — Form MD-15 Self-Declaration
What is Form MD-15?
Form MD-15 is a registration / self-declaration form for importing Class A (low-risk) medical devices into India. It does not constitute a full licence review by CDSCO but requires the IAR to declare conformance with MDR 2017 requirements.
Process
- Confirm the device is classified as Class A under MDR 2017;
- Confirm the device is notified in Schedule I or Schedule II;
- Submit Form MD-15 via the SUGAM portal, attaching:
- Device description and specifications;
- Evidence of GMP compliance;
- Labelling specimens;
- IAR appointment letter;
- Pay the applicable fee;
- Receive Form MD-15 registration acknowledgement.
Important notes
- Form MD-15 is for Class A devices only. Any device classified as Class B, C, or D requires Form MD-14.
- If CDSCO determines that the device is incorrectly classified as Class A, the application will be redirected to the Form MD-14 pathway.
- Class A registration under Form MD-15 does not exempt the device from labelling, vigilance, or post-market requirements.
