About this classifier

What the Côte d'Ivoire classifier checks

The classifier compares your product description with current AIRP classification requirements. It then gives you a suggested class, explains why it may apply, and shows the source links and product examples behind the result.

How are medical devices classified in Côte d'Ivoire?
AIRP uses a risk-based framework. Possible classes include IVDs: Classe A — Faible risque individuel et en matière de santé publique, Classe B — Risque individuel modéré et/ou faible risque en matière de santé publique, Classe C — Risque individuel élevé et/ou modéré en matière de santé publique, Classe D — Risque individuel élevé et aussi en matière de santé publique; Medical devices: Classe A — Faible, Classe B — Faible-moyen, Classe C — Moyen-élevé, Classe D — Élevé. In vitro diagnostic devices are classified on their own four-class table, adopted for the UEMOA member states by UEMOA Décision n° 03/2022/CM/UEMOA, annexe I-2: Classe A (Faible risque individuel et en matière de santé publique), Classe B (Risque individuel modéré et/ou faible risque en matière de santé publique), Classe C (Risque individuel élevé et/ou modéré en matière de santé publique), Classe D (Risque individuel élevé et aussi en matière de santé publique), with the seven DMDIV classification rules. The AIRP prices DMDIV separately in its redevances table, where the fifth column is headed « DMDIV de Classe D (III) » and runs alongside the four medical-device classes headed « Classe A (I) », « Classe B (IIA) », « Classe C (IIB) » and « Classe D (III) », so the Ivorian tariff prices a Class D DMDIV under the EU class III rather than reproducing the DMDIV class table. Côte d'Ivoire classifies medical devices on the four-class international axis adopted for the UEMOA member states by UEMOA Décision n° 03/2022/CM/UEMOA, annexe I-1: Classe A (Faible), Classe B (Faible-moyen), Classe C (Moyen-élevé), Classe D (Élevé), with the classification rules in annexe I-1. The AIRP applies it: the Autorisation de Commercialisation request must give "le nom commercial, la présentation, l'usage et la référence du Dispositif Médical, y compris sa classification conformément à celle retenue par la réglementation UEMOA", the dossier must show conformity with the essential requirements, and the AIRP tariff is itself laid out by these four classes plus a column headed « DMDIV de Classe D (III) », its four device columns being headed « Classe A (I) », « Classe B (IIA) », « Classe C (IIB) » and « Classe D (III) ». The applicable class depends on the product's intended purpose, duration of use, invasiveness, active functions, implantability, sterility, software role, and other market-specific rules.
What information does the Côte d'Ivoire classifier use?
Current official AIRP classification requirements. Your result includes an explanation and links to the official sources used.
Is the result an official AIRP classification decision?
No. The result is a preliminary estimate based on the product details you provide and the information available. Confirm the classification with the applicable authority or a qualified regulatory professional before filing.
