What Is an Authorized Agent for Medical Device Registration in India?

An authorized agent — also referred to as an authorized representative — is an India-based entity officially recognized by CDSCO to act on behalf of a foreign medical device manufacturer. Under the Medical Device Rules, 2017, any overseas manufacturer wishing to import, sell, or market a medical device in India must appoint a registered authorized agent with a valid wholesale drug license (Form MD-42) or equivalent registration certificate. The agent assumes legal responsibility for regulatory compliance, product submissions, and post-market activities on behalf of the manufacturer.
