What you receive

Not just a yes or no

A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

Maintained country rule

What this CNE institutional operating licence and radiological protection officer licence check is screening

Separates product, supplier, import, facility, source-holder, and operator radiation obligations. Applies to the facility, operator, or installation rather than only the product.

Source association reviewed. The source association has been reviewed. This does not verify every rule, date or product-specific conclusion; read the cited provisions and their limits.

Requirement family: Ionizing radiation and radioactive sources
Regulatory object: radiation practice or use site
Maintained rule status: mandatory for use site
Useful product facts: X-ray or radioactive source, modality, energy, import purpose, installation site, and operator role.

A facility that runs a radiation practice needs a Licencia Institucional de Operación — RD$13,200.00 and 25 business days for Práctica Tipo II (medical diagnostic radiology) and RD$6,500.00 for inscription in the type III register (RD$6,600.00 for the periapical dental variant) — and must employ a licensed Encargado de Protección Radiológica; CNE states that where four or more technical staff are involved a licensed EPR is required. Operators need a personal Licencia Personal de Operación (RD$6,600.00 for type I, RD$3,300.00 for types II and III), and a licence for definitive institutional closure costs RD$13,200.00 for type I and RD$6,600.00 for type II. The duty sits on the practice and its personnel, not on the device.

How to read the answer

Classification is only the first layer

A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.

Product approval

A certificate or approval attached to the finished product, component, or radio host.

Dossier or import evidence

Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.

Site or operator licence

Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.

Electrical safety

Radiation

CNE import permit for radioactive sources and ionizing-radiation-emitting devices

Handled as an import or shipment-level obligation.

Source association reviewed

Metrology

INDOCAL legal-metrology model approval, batch examination and verification

Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

About this checker

A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination

Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Dominican Republic scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.

Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.

Is this the same as medical device classification in Dominican Republic?: No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?: No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
Is the result an official regulatory determination?: No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
