In late March, the Chinese Ministry of Finance announced that it will abolish several government fees, including medical device testing fees associated with CFDA registration. The new policy went into effect April 1, 2017. So far, only the CFDA’s Shanghai testing center has officially implemented this change, the other testing laboratories in Beijing and Zhejiang will follow eventually in near future.
Abolishing testing fees is a great CFDA incentive for foreign medical device companies seeking regulatory approval in china to be able to access Chinese market.
