Medical device classification
We assign the correct device class based on intended use and risk, which defines the documentation and registration route.
Product Classification
MOH medical product classification in the UAE
Every medical device and pharmaceutical product must be classified correctly before it can be registered and imported. Classification sets the regulatory category, the evidence you must provide and the registration pathway. Getting it right the first time avoids rejections, resubmissions and costly delays to market entry.

Product registration
Why it matters
Classification decides everything downstream
The category assigned to your product determines the technical file, labelling, testing evidence and timeline for registration with the Ministry of Health and Prevention. A misclassified product is a common cause of rejection and lost time. Our specialists confirm the classification up front so your registration moves cleanly to approval.
