No certificate issued by PMDA.
Pre-Market Certificate

Pre-Market Approval certificate issued by MHLW.
QMS Conformance certificate issued by PMDA or RCB.
Some Class I devices require
QMS conformity assessment
by PMDA.
QMS audit by Registered
Certification Body (RCB).
QMS audit by PMDA. On-site audits are typically required for “New” devices with no existing JMDN
code, Class IV devices, and those requiring clinical investigations.
Submit Pre-Market Submission

All documents must be
in Japanese.
Submit Pre-Market Certification
application to a Registered

NOTE 1: The time frames shown above are typical for the majority of medical device submissions but assume that your device does not contain animal tissue, medicinal
substances or employ entirely novel technology. Your length of approval will depend on the quality and completeness of your technical documentation and how much time you
take to address additional information requests from authorities after submission. YOUR SUBMISSION(S) MAY TAKE MORE TIME THAN WHAT IS SHOWN ABOVE.
NOTE 2: Device registration does not expire, however you must pay Foreign Manufacturer Registration (FMR) renewal fees. Failure to renew FMR will result in your permission to
market your device being revoked.
NOTE 3: Our rating of the complexity of the registration process is based on our experience and the opinion of nearly 1,000 QA/RA professionals worldwide who were asked
to rate the difficulty of registering a device in each country in January 2014. The European CE Marking process is considered the mid-point to which all other markets are
compared.
NOTE 4: Low = Less than US$5000; Midpoint = US$15000-$30000: High = More than US$50000. Overall cost includes registration application fees, product testing, in-
country representation, submission preparation consulting and translation of registration documents but not IFU. Does not include cost of implementing or auditing a quality
management system compliant with ISO 13485 or US FDA 21 CFR Part 820, if applicable.
