Malaysia Authorized
Regulatory Representation
for Medical Devices (AR)

Choose Your Representative

Carefully. Choose Kazami.

Medical device manufacturers without a registered and licensed office in Malaysia must select an in-country representative, called a Malaysia Authorized Representative (AR). Your Malaysian Authorized Representative serves as your liaison with Malaysia’s Medical Device Authority (MDA) and is responsible for submitting your medical device registration, so it is important to choose your representative carefully.

Requirements

Malaysia Authorized Representative Requirements

The AR must be a citizen or permanent resident of Malaysia. The representative must also hold an Establishment License and a certificate of Good Distribution Practices, Medical Devices (GDPMD). Your medical device registration is submitted by the authorized representative, and the Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) certification is issued in the name of your representative.

As an independent representative with a presence in Malaysia, Kazami can act as your Malaysia Authorized Representative, which allows you to control your device approval.

Can Your Distributor Serve as Your Authorized Representative to The MDA in Malaysia?

Many medical device manufacturers consider appointing a distributor as their Malaysia Authorized Representative. But this can be risky. Distributors focus on sales and marketing, rather than new and changing regulatory issues. Your Malaysian Authorized Representative also controls your device approval, so changing representatives can be difficult.

We recommend selecting an independent authorized representative that is committed to ensuring your firm stays ahead of regulatory requirements in Malaysia. Read more about the benefits of hiring an independent authorized representative.
