NMPA Regulatory Framework

Meaning

The NMPA Regulatory Framework is the comprehensive set of laws, regulations, guidelines, and procedures established by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of the People’s Republic of China for the oversight of drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics. This framework dictates the entire lifecycle of medical products within China, from preclinical testing and clinical trial approval to marketing authorization, post-market surveillance, and manufacturing compliance. Its core purpose is to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of all medical products available to the Chinese population, serving as the ultimate authority for clinical translation in that region. Adherence to these specific guidelines is mandatory for global pharmaceutical companies seeking market entry.
