Though the 18 months timeline offered by the Regulator came to an end on Sep 30th 2021, many MSME businesses couldn’t complete the process . Regulator has forwarded the request to Ministry . A Session with Regulator organized by industry was attended by more than 1000 members and industry and various other key stakeholders raised many pertinent issues requesting the regulator’s office to look into. One of the key issues raised during industry meet was ISO 13485 Certification process and challenges in completing the exercise to obtain “Authentic ISO 13485 Certificates” .
