CFDA: New Regulations for the Certification of Denture Implants and 5 additional Products have been published
The CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration) published revised versions of the regulations, which are dealing with the technical verification for the registration of 6 products, in 2016. The intention of that was the improvement of the administration and consultation during the CFDA product registration as well as the review during the registration process.
The revised regulations for medical products of class III include the following products:
- Denture implants
- Dental fillings made out of poly material
- Cerebral shunt for single use
- Surgical yarn
- Posterior fixation system for the spine
- Placeholders made out of synthetic material (Cages) for spinal fusion
There are special requirements for medical products of class III, which are implanted in the human body or which serve life support. These products are a potential risk for the human body. Hence, they have to be checked through product tests and clinical studies.
For the producers of medical products, it is often hard to assess whether a CFDA registration is needed for their products. Moreover, it is hard to assess to which product class their products belong.
Furthermore, the classification is also a decisive influencing factor regarding the costs and the duration of the CFDA registration process . Hereby, it is important to know that the classification in China is not always oriented towards the regulations in Europe (e.g. Regulation 93/42/EWG). Therefore, it is possible that the CFDA classifies products differently than the European authorities.
A well-founded evaluation if a product needs CFDA and to which class it belongs, facilitates the whole certification process and prevents unscheduled costs.

CRCC: Joint Event of the Chinese Authorities on the „World Accreditation Day“
The “World Accreditation Day” was founded by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) in order to strengthen the awareness regarding accreditation and certification. The “World Accreditation Day” is celebrated worldwide on June 9th each year. In Beijing they celebrated it on June 7th, 2016 with an event according “Certification and Accreditation Support Going Global of China High Speed Railway”. This event was organized by the CNCA, AQSIQ and CRG (China Railway Group). Among the speakers were the director of the CNCA, Sun Dawei, important representatives of the AQSIQ, and high-ranking employees of several institutions for railway transport.
On the day of the event the CNCA and CRG signed a cooperation agreement in order to strengthen the development of the high speed railway network in China. Matter of this agreement is also the further expansion of the inspection and certification systems for public railway transport. This certification should lead to an increase in product quality and security in the railway industry, as well as the sustainable development of the national railway industry.
The Chinese government strongly supports the development of the national railway industry, and rail network for high speed trains for several years. They recently announced in their five-year plan that they will maintain this course. China already had the worldwide largest high speed railway network, with approximately 19,000 km, in 2015. Additional 10,000 km are under construction.
Certain railway products need a CRRC certification. The responsible authority for CRCC certification is the China Railways Test & Certification Center (CRCC), which was renamed from Railways Product Certification Center, in 2003.
