RAPS Webcast: 2022 NMPA (CFDA) Key Updates and Look Ahead

China’s State Order 739 has brought continuous change in regulatory, clinical, and commercial affairs this year. But as the only country with double-digit growth in MedTech, China cannot be ignored just because its market-entry submission process is challenging.

In this strategic program, we will review key policies, guidelines, and standards, and look ahead to 2023. Attendees will identify techniques manufacturers and inventors can implement to shorten their time to market. They’ll also discuss PTR tests, standards’ changes, post-market compliance inspections, and penalties. And we haven’t forgotten the emerging “made-in -China” policies.
