Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) requires foreign medical device manufacturers with no presence in the country to appoint an in-country regulatory representative (Registrant) to manage their product registrations. Your registrant is critical to your device registration and success in the Singapore market, so it is important to consider your choice carefully.

The role of a Singapore Registrant

Your Singapore Registrant must file your medical device registration application with the HSA and act as the liaison between your company and the regulatory authorities. The Registrant also owns your HSA registration and controls the listing of authorized importers in Singapore. Only companies or individuals based in Singapore can act as a Registrant; they must also be registered with the HSA.

Common Questions

Is a Registrant required for all device classifications?
No. Foreign manufacturers are not required to appoint a Registrant if they are selling Class A device.

What is the difference between a Registrant and a Licensed Importer?
The Registrant is your liaison with the HSA and controls your device registration listing. The Licensed Importer, on the other hand, performs the business and administrative functions of importation. However, the Registrant and Importer can be one and the same.
