Common questions about changing a registered IVD in Tanzania. Each question separates published rules from details still awaiting verification.

Reliance & recognition

Which foreign decisions or evidence can be reused, with what effect and conditions?

Compare countries

Existing records include acceptance, restrictions and evidence reuse. The applicable product scope and conditions are preserved below; a reference does not by itself confer market access.

Tanzania approvals and evidence in other markets (0 records)

No linked record is currently maintained. This does not establish that a pathway is unavailable.

Prior approvals and evidence for Tanzania (4 records)

Regulatory reference

China NMPA approval: no recognition regime

reliance.china-nmpa-no-recognition-route
Pending verification
Statement

TMDA's device registration framework (Control of Medical Devices Regulations 2015 and the June 2024 Compendium) subjects all Class A-D devices and IVDs to independent dossier assessment with no reference-authority list and no abridged pathway based on foreign approvals; TMDA's separate regulatory-reliance guideline (17 April 2025) covers marketing authorisation of human medicinal products only, and the only device-related reliance mechanism is the WHO Collaborative Registration Procedure for WHO-prequalified IVDs. An NMPA registration therefore gives no procedural benefit beyond documentary marketing-history evidence.

Conditions
  • Registration via online Trader Portal; ISO 13485 evidence for notification of Class A devices.

[...] For requirements for registration, please refer to Guidelines on Submission of Documentation for Registration of Medical Devices, third edition, April 2020 and Guidelines on submission of Documentation for Registration of In-vitro Diagnostic Devices, third edition, April 2020

Prior approval / evidence record

China NMPA approval: market-approval evidence for specialised-device applications

Pending verification
Statement

TMDA's Compendium of Guidelines for Marketing Authorization of Medical Devices, Diagnostics and Laboratory Equipment (TMDA/DMD/MDA/G/001 Rev 03, June 2024) requires applicants for specialised devices such as MRI, ultrasound, X-ray and ECHO systems to submit a 'Certificate of market approval from any other country and market history', listing all countries where the device is marketed or withdrawn. An NMPA registration certificate satisfies this documentary requirement for a China-made device; the compendium names no reference regulatory authorities and provides no abridged route.

Notes
  • Four GHTF-based classes A-D (A low, B low-moderate, C moderate-high, D high); the manufacturer is responsible for classifying but TMDA reserves the right to decide the class.
  • Where more than one classification rule applies, the rules resulting in the highest risk classification apply; classification rules are those of the Control of Medical Devices Regulations GN.315 (Part V MD / Part VI IVD of the compendium).

Notes
  • Fees follow the Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices (Fees and Charges) Regulation 2022 (GN No. 686) as displayed by TMDA; the June 2024 amendment controls where the page disagrees (imported notification USD 50).
  • Domestic-retention amounts print "NA" on the TMDA page and need confirmation against GN No. 686; imported retention is USD 200 registered / USD 50 notified.
  • Domestic IVD rows mirror the medical-device table (TZS 100,000/200,000/500,000 by class).

    Note

    TMDA compendium (June 2024): ISO 10993 series treated as the gold standard for biocompatibility, with validated alternative methods needing justification; measuring-function devices where inaccuracy could significantly harm the patient need metrological conformity studies (traceability also for IVD calibrators); special packaging needs seal-integrity and sterility evidence (e.g. bubble, dye-penetration tests); IMDRF/SaMD guidance referenced for software.
