Prior approval / evidence record

ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD) harmonisation

Name

ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD) harmonisation

Description

The AMDD gives the ten member states one device definition, one set of classification rules, one set of essential principles and one dossier structure, the Common Submission Dossier Template. It is not a reliance route. The ACCSQ Medical Device Product Working Group states in terms that the Directive is "not intended to confer mutual recognition" and that each member state retains the sovereign right to make its own registration decisions, so a registration in one ASEAN market authorises nothing in another and shortens no national review period.

Timeline Reduction

None — the saving is in dossier preparation, since one CSDT core can be reused across member states with national addenda

Eligibility
  • Any device filed in an ASEAN member state that has transposed the AMDD into national law

China NMPA approval: not reference

Pending verification
Statement

Thai FDA offers two submission channels: the full pathway and the abridged evaluation pathway, the latter reserved for devices with a registration history from the agencies Thai FDA recognises: Australia TGA, Health Canada, EU Notified Bodies, Japan MHLW, US FDA and WHO Prequalification for IVDs. China's NMPA is not a recognised reference agency, so NMPA-registered devices are evaluated under the full pathway. The Singapore HSA reliance programme and the Malaysia MDA reliance programme (both held) are the only bilateral reliance channels and do not involve China.

    ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD) harmonisation

    Description

    The AMDD gives the ten member states one device definition, one set of classification rules, one set of essential principles and one dossier structure, the Common Submission Dossier Template. It is not a reliance route. The ACCSQ Medical Device Product Working Group states in terms that the Directive is "not intended to confer mutual recognition" and that each member state retains the sovereign right to make its own registration decisions, so a registration in one ASEAN market authorises nothing in another and shortens no national review period.

    Timeline Reduction

    None — the saving is in dossier preparation, since one CSDT core can be reused across member states with national addenda

    Eligibility
    • Any device filed in an ASEAN member state that has transposed the AMDD into national law

  • Authority

    Benefit

    Note

    Thai FDA's new-importer dossier table requires summary verification and validation for the full Class 2–4 pathway, with the applicable evidence dependent on the device and pathway; its Class 1 table calls for testing or calibration evidence for measuring devices. The cited clinical-investigation ISO 14155/20916 requirements do not by themselves establish an electrical-safety or EMC certificate rule. A specific national electrical/EMC overlay is not established by these reviewed sources.

    Note

    The OAP-authored regulatory-framework presentation hosted by IAEA (pages 19–21) distinguishes licensing from notification under the Nuclear Energy for Peace Act: Category 1 (at least 1 MeV) and Category 2 (below 1 MeV, not fully enclosed during operation) generators require OAP licensing; fully enclosed Category 3 generators below 1 MeV follow OAP notification and regular safety inspection. Generators specifically designed for medical diagnostics follow the Ministry of Public Health notification route; generators with maximum energy at or below 5 keV are listed as exempt. For the licensed categories, the presentation gives five-year production/possession/use licences and import/export/transit licences of no more than six months. Confirm the current category and implementing instrument for the specific device; this framework presentation does not establish a blanket licence requirement for all non-diagnostic generators.

    Note

    Thai FDA's new-importer customer journey first routes Section 27-exempt purposes to their separate exemption procedure. For non-exempt commercial imports, it requires import-establishment registration before product registration. The page lists separate establishment charges: THB 100 application, THB 12,000 assessment and THB 4,000 certificate; THB 4,000 is not the total charge. Registered importers must provide an import supervisor, required signage and the import/sale quality system under the MOPH Notification B.E. 2566 (2023). The reviewed page does not establish that every Section 27 case follows the same permission route.
