What is Market standing Certificate?

A Market Standing Certificate (MSC) is an official document confirming that a medical device is legally manufactured, marketed, and distributed in a country without major regulatory issues. It is used to demonstrate a product’s commercial and regulatory status to authorities, importers, distributors, hospitals, and international buyers. The MSC is often required for device registration, import/export approvals, government tenders, distributor onboarding, and international expansion. It enhances product credibility, supports compliance, aids regulatory reviews, and builds trust with stakeholders.
