Successful Product Approval in South Korea
In recent years, South Korea has increasingly become a major market for medical devices. To introduce and market medical devices in South Korea, companies must meet the requirements set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). These requirements vary depending on the risk class of the medical device. For example, manufacturers of Class II medical devices and higher must demonstrate compliance with the Korean Good Manufacturing Practice (KGMP) quality management system requirements. A local representative in the form of a Korea License Holder (KLH) is also required for non-Korean companies.
