Authority reference for Egypt

Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) · MeDevice

  • All devices must be registered with the EDA before import. The requirement was extended to all devices in 2018, with limited exemptions.
  • A company without a presence in Egypt must appoint an Egypt Registration Holder (ERH). The ERH is also the importer of record for registered devices.
  • The EDA requires a valid ISO 13485:2016 certificate from every applicant to satisfy its quality-management requirements.
  • Applications are submitted by the ERH through the EDA's online portal, MeDevice, with the technical documentation attached.
  • Class I non-sterile devices are exempt from registration but must still be listed on the importer's record with the EDA.

Market questions for Egypt

  • Large clinic base and strong demand, but at least one Chinese manufacturer already operates a local branch office here — you will be competing against a supplier with people on the ground, not just a website.
  • ISO 13485 is a hard gate for EDA registration. Confirm your supplier can produce a current certificate before you spend money on an ERH.
