CDSCO MD-9 Manufacturing License Consultant in India

Call Now

Setting up manufacturing for Class C and Class D medical devices in India requires strict regulatory approval under the Medical Device Rules, 2017.

To legally manufacture high-risk medical devices, you must obtain a CDSCO Manufacturing License in Form MD-9, which is granted after applying through Form MD-7.

At ELT Corporate, we provide complete consulting support as a trusted CDSCO MD-9 Manufacturing License Consultant, ensuring your application is compliant, technically strong, and processed without unnecessary delays.

What is the CDSCO MD-9 Manufacturing License?

The MD-9 License is issued by the Central Licensing Authority (CDSCO) for:

Class C (Moderate-High Risk) Devices
Class D (High Risk) Devices

This license allows manufacturers to:

  • Legally manufacture medical devices in India
  • Sell and distribute devices in the Indian market
  • Enables participation in tenders and hospital procurement (subject to additional requirements)

Without MD-9 approval, manufacturing of such devices is not permitted under MDR 2017.

Who Requires MD-9 License?

You need an MD-9 Manufacturing License if you are:

Medical device manufacturer (Class C or D)
Startup entering medical device manufacturing
Importer shifting to local manufacturing
OEM / contract manufacturer
Company planning to scale production in India

MD-7 to MD-9 Process (Step-by-Step)

The process for obtaining MD-9 license involves:

Step 1: Device Classification

Identify correct device class under MDR 2017

Step 2: Documentation Preparation

Prepare complete regulatory file:

  • Device Master File (DMF)
  • Plant Master File (PMF)
  • Risk analysis & testing reports
  • ISO 13485 certification

Step 3: Application Filing (Form MD-7)

Submit application through CDSCO SUGAM portal

Step 4: Technical Review by CDSCO

Detailed evaluation of device safety and performance

Step 5: Site Inspection

Inspection of manufacturing facility by authority

Step 6: License Grant (Form MD-9)

Approval issued after compliance verification

Documents Required for MD-9 License

A strong documentation set is critical for approval:

  • Device Master File (DMF)
  • Plant Master File (PMF)
  • ISO 13485 Certificate
  • Quality Management System documents
  • Test Reports (biocompatibility, electrical safety, performance)
  • Clinical Evaluation (for Class C & D)
  • Layout & facility details
  • Manufacturing process details
  • Labeling & IFU compliance

Poor documentation is the #1 reason for CDSCO rejection

Government Fees for MD-9 License

As per MDR 2017:

  • Class C Devices – USD 3,000
  • Class D Devices – USD 5,000

 Additional fees may apply based on the number of devices and manufacturing sites.

Timelines depend on:

  • Documentation quality
  • Query response speed
  • Inspection readiness

Common Reasons for MD-9 Application Rejection

Many applications fail due to avoidable mistakes:

  • Incorrect device classification
  • Incomplete Device Master File
  • Poor facility compliance
  • Labeling mismatch with intended use
  • Weak ISO 13485 implementation
  • Delayed CDSCO query response

Most rejections are due to documentation gaps, not product quality
