The China National Medical Products Association (NMPA) introduced a series of significant changes to medical device, IVD, companion diagnostic, and combination products regulations in 2011. Dozens of new regulations and major updates in the forms of policies, guidelines, standards, and announcements were released in 2021 with the implementation of decree Order 739, “Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices”.
In a significant progression, Chinese medical device regulators have begun to recognize the self-test report [JM1] from manufacturers and developed guidelines on the requirements and qualifications for self-test reports.
China has also published adjustments to the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) framework, including guidelines for Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER), establishing equivalence, and determining when to do clinical trials. The e-filing catalog has also added a section requirement on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). These updates and changes have impacted the complete product life cycle including new submissions, renewals and postmarket surveillance.
