Free Sale Certificate for Medical Devices in India: A Streamlined Process with MDR Consultant Support

What is a Free Sale Certificate (FSC)?

A Free Sale Certificate (FSC), also known as a Certificate for Export, is a critical document for Indian medical device companies. It verifies that a medical device can be freely sold and exported from the country. This certificate is mandatory for both importing and exporting regulated medical devices. A valid manufacturing licence is the most important requirement for obtaining FSC from CDSCO.

Who Needs a Free Sale Certificate?

Any manufacturer in India with a valid manufacturing license can apply for a Free Sale Certificate from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).

Benefits of Obtaining a Free Sale Certificate

  • Simplified Import/Export: An FSC removes any regulatory hurdles associated with importing or exporting your medical devices.
  • Enhanced Credibility: Possessing an FSC demonstrates compliance with Indian regulations, boosting your brand reputation in the international market.
  • Faster Time to Market: An expedited FSC application process allows you to seize global opportunities quicker.
