Our GDPMD fee is RM 5,500 in year 1. The certification body (CAB) audit, RM 4,785 per warehouse, is paid by you direct to the CAB, not through us. Surveillance years 2 and 3 are RM 2,500 a year to us plus RM 2,585 a year direct to the CAB, and year 4 re-certification repeats year 1. If you also need the MDA establishment licence, the MDA fee is paid direct to MDA as well: RM 2,250 for a distributor (RM 250 application + RM 2,000 licence), with importer and authorised representative licences carrying their own MDA fees. Our fee is payable 50% to kick off and 50% upon approval / completion, and monthly payment plans from RM 1,500/month are also available. The complete licensing and registration process typically takes 3–6 months depending on device classification. 1000+ medical devices registered with MDA since 2016, at a 98% approval success rate — AA Alive internal data.

Since 28 January 2026, Circular Letter of Medical Device Authority No. 1/2026 requires every tenderer to hold a valid MDA establishment licence before participating in any new medical device tender — non-compliance is an offence under Section 15 of the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737). Transitional exemptions cover only tenders awarded, letters of acceptance received or tender advertisements issued before 28 January 2026, and only until the existing contract or tender activity ends. Licensing takes months — if hospital or government supply contracts are in your pipeline, start before the next tender cycle.

Common questions about GDPMD certification and medical device registration in Malaysia
GDPMD (Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices) is a mandatory quality management certification in Malaysia. All companies importing, distributing, or representing medical devices must obtain GDPMD certification before applying for an MDA establishment license to ensure proper handling and distribution throughout the supply chain.
The complete process typically takes 3-6 months depending on device classification. Class A devices are fastest (2-3 months), while Class C and D devices may take 4-6 months. Our 98% success rate with 1000+ devices ensures minimal delays.
An MDA establishment license authorizes your company to operate as an importer, distributor, or authorized representative. Product registration (device listing) is required for each specific medical device you want to market. You must obtain the establishment license before registering products.
Medical devices are classified into Class A, B, C, and D based on risk level per the Medical Device Act 2012. Class A has lowest risk (surgical instruments), Class D has highest (implantable devices). Classification determines registration requirements and costs.
While ISO 13485 isn't always mandatory, GDPMD certification is essential for establishment licensing. ISO 13485 is the international quality management standard for medical device manufacturers and is highly recommended as it demonstrates compliance and expedites registration.
Yes, we assist with US FDA establishment registration and device listing for companies exporting to the United States, as well as HSA (Health Sciences Authority) medical device registration in Singapore for regional market access.
Required documents include manufacturer's ISO 13485 certificate, CE mark certificate (if applicable), product technical documentation, labeling and IFU, clinical evaluation reports, risk analysis, and CSDT. Our team guides you through complete documentation requirements.

GDPMD certification and the establishment licence are what this page covers. If you are a foreign manufacturer, there is a separate question first: who holds your device registration in Malaysia. You cannot register a device directly from overseas — a Malaysian authorised representative must hold it, and that choice binds you commercially, because the registration stays with the holder. Our ISO 13485 practice covers the AR, importer and distributor roles in full: who can hold your device registration, and what each route costs on the published fee table.
