An assessment system with points is gradually being introduced for medical devices in Russia to reflect the level of their localization in the country. As part of this process, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation has taken the initiative to provide such a system for 22 specific types of medical products, gradually increasing the percentage of Russian components that are used in their manufacturing, according to the official website of the ministry.
This change will contribute to the increase of Russia’s industrial, scientific and technical potential, as well as the development of the medical industry in general and the production of medical devices in particular. The draft resolution, as well as other implemented measures to support domestic manufacturers, is aimed at stimulating localization of the production of medical products at deeper levels and is intended to reduce the dependence of the Russian market on foreign supplies.
All interested organizations can share their suggestions and comments on the draft resolution at https://regulation.gov.ru/p/119010, where the draft is posted for public discussion.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade earlier announced the expansion of “the third one out” list.
