Certification Scope and Grading

Certification scopeโ€‹

The KGMP certificate specifies the manufacturing site and the categories of devices covered. Common scope categories:

  • Active medical devices (electrical/electronic)
  • Passive medical devices (non-powered)
  • Sterile devices
  • IVD devices (separate chapter under IVD Act)
  • Implantable devices

Adding new product categoriesโ€‹

A scope extension application is required to add a new device category. MFDS determines whether a new inspection or document review is sufficient.
