Key Standards for Class B Medical Device Registration under Hong Kong MDACS

1. General Safety and Performance Standards

  • ISO 13485: Quality management system requirements for medical device manufacturers.

  • ISO 14971: Application of risk management to medical devices.

2. Electrical Safety and Performance Standards

  • IEC 60601 Series: For medical electrical equipment (e.g., IEC 60601-1 for general safety, IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility).

3. Biocompatibility Standards

  • ISO 10993 Series: Biological evaluation of medical devices to assess biocompatibility (e.g., cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation).

4. Software and Cybersecurity (If Applicable)

  • IEC 62304: Medical device software lifecycle processes.

  • ISO/IEC 27001: Information security management (if relevant).

5. Labeling and Usability Standards

  • ISO 15223-1: Symbols for medical device labeling.

  • ISO 14971: Also relates to usability and risk.

6. Specific Device Standards

  • Depending on the device type, additional device-specific standards may apply (e.g., ISO 80369 series for connectors, ASTM standards for certain materials).


Important Notes:

  • MDACS accepts compliance with international standards commonly used in major regulatory jurisdictions such as the EU (CE marking) or the US (FDA).

  • If your device is already certified or approved under these recognized standards by other authorities, it can simplify the MDACS registration process.

  • The exact standards required depend on the device type and its intended use. For example, an electrical therapeutic device will need IEC 60601 series compliance, whereas a non-electrical device may not.
