Types of licences
Importer's licence
An importer's licence allows the dealer to bring a medical device into Singapore.
Licensed importers require a Wholesaler's licence for wholesale supply.
Wholesaler's licence
A wholesaler's licence allows the dealer to:
- supply a medical device by wholesale (including export) in Singapore.
- supply a medical device to a party for re-supply.
- supply a medical device as a commercial sample.
However, a wholesaler's licence is not required for supply to end-users, such as in a retail store.
Manufacturer's licence
A manufacturer's licence allows the dealer to:
- Make, fabricate, produce or process a medical device.
- Package and label a medical device before it is supplied.
Licensed manufacturers do not require a Wholesaler's licence to supply medical devices which are manufactured under their Manufacturer's licence.
