Read MoreWhat Are the Risks When the Filed Device Differs from the Product Actually Sold?
Differences in output, handpieces, software, model, intended purpose or companion products can limit the applicability of the classification result and create platform, complaint, regulatory and contractual risks.
Read MoreWhy Can a Company Still Be Penalized After Receiving a Non-Medical Classification Result?
A non-medical classification result applies to a defined product fact pattern. It does not exempt product quality, advertising, consumer, import, corporate or post-market-change obligations.
Read MoreWhat Should You Do When an E-Commerce Platform Requests Proof That a Product Is Non-Medical?
First identify the exact SKU, model, page and claim being questioned. Submit a package consistent with the product actually sold rather than relying on a single result for another version.
Read MoreWhat Should a Company Do When a Beauty Device Is Reported as an Unregistered Medical Device?
Do not begin by deleting every page or creating a new manual. Preserve the real device, software, parameters, marketing and sales evidence, then identify the affected product version and legal issue.
Read MoreHow to Assess Whether a Pneumatic Needle-Free Infusion Device Is a Medical Device
The key question is whether the device only atomizes and spreads liquid on the surface or uses pressure to cross the skin barrier for a medical purpose. “Needle-free” does not prove non-invasiveness.
Read MoreIs an Electroporation Beauty Device a Medical Device?
Electroporation devices require evidence on pulsed electric fields, electrodes, skin-barrier effects, companion substances, depth and intended purpose. The label “needle-free” does not determine status.
Read MoreWhy Can ‘Promotes Absorption’ Affect the Classification of a Beauty Device?
Spreading cosmetics on the surface is not the same as crossing the skin barrier. The substance, delivery route, depth, mechanism and purpose can materially change regulatory assessment.
Read MoreWhat Is the Difference Between Ultrasound Cleaning, Infusion and Treatment?
The difference is not just terminology. Acoustic output, target, depth, coupling medium, biological interaction and intended purpose must support each mode independently.
Read MoreIs an Ultrasound Beauty Device a Medical Device?
Ultrasound is an energy technology, not an automatic regulatory category. Output, depth, coupling, body interaction and intended purpose must be assessed for the specific device.
Read MoreWhat Documents Are Needed to Bring an Imported Microcurrent Device into China?
The main challenge is not translation but whether the overseas manufacturer can support the proposed China version with authentic parameters, software and signed documents.
Read MoreDoes App Control Affect Classification of a Microcurrent Beauty Device?
An App does not automatically determine classification, but if it selects programs, changes output, unlocks functions or controls protection, it is part of the real product and its intended use.
Read MoreWhich Electrical Parameters Must a Microcurrent Beauty Device Provide?
A reproducible parameter table should allow a third party to measure similar results under the same load and program. Broad statements such as “0–4 mA” or “low-frequency pulses” are insufficient.
Read MoreWhat Is the Regulatory Difference Between Microcurrent and EMS Beauty Devices?
Renaming EMS as microcurrent, or describing microcurrent as massage, does not change the real electrical stimulation. Output, waveform, muscle effect and intended purpose must be verified.
Read MoreBelow What Current Is a Microcurrent Device Definitely Non-Medical?
China does not use one universal current threshold for all microcurrent beauty devices. Current must be interpreted with voltage, waveform, pulse width, electrode area, body interaction and intended purpose.
Read MoreIs a Microcurrent Beauty Device a Medical Device?
“Microcurrent” is a technical and marketing description, not a fixed regulatory category. Current, voltage, waveform, electrodes, body interaction and intended purpose must be assessed together.
Read MoreCan an RF Device Claim Firming and Wrinkle Reduction After a Non-Medical Result?
Compliance does not depend on one word alone. Claims must remain consistent with the assessed product, intended purpose, evidence and the overall context of images, demonstrations, comparisons and training.
Read MoreHow Should an RF and Microcurrent Combination Device Be Classified?
It is one commercial device but contains at least two energy systems. RF and microcurrent must be characterised separately and together, including simultaneous output and combined risk.
Read MoreWhat Should an RF Beauty-Device Temperature-Rise Test Verify?
A temperature test is not complete after one average reading. It must address local hot spots, highest level, longest use, slow movement, abnormal dwell and protection failure.
Read MoreHow Do Monopolar, Bipolar and Multipolar RF Affect Classification?
Electrode configuration affects the current path, energy distribution and temperature pattern, but it is a technical fact, not a classification result by itself.
Read MoreWhich Technical Parameters Are Needed to Classify an RF Beauty Device?
A label stating “1 MHz” or “30 W rated power” does not reconstruct the RF energy delivered to the body. Classification requires output, load, electrode, use-condition and protection data.
Read MoreCan RF Beauty Devices Still Be Sold as Non-Medical Products After 1 April 2026?
The new date does not automatically make every product containing RF a medical device, nor does it permit companies to solve the issue by changing the name. The real effect and intended purpose remain decisive.
Read MoreIs an RF Beauty Device a Medical Device?
The answer cannot be based on the product name, home or salon setting, or a single frequency. Actual RF output, tissue interaction, intended purpose, use method and claims must be assessed together.
Read MoreHow to Choose a Beauty-Device Classification Service Provider
A promise to “guarantee approval” is not technical competence. Check whether the provider understands the real device, energy parameters, testing, supplementation and contractual responsibility.
Read MoreWhere Can a Classification Determination Be Used?
A classification result is not a universal sales licence. It applies to a specific product version, parameters, intended purpose and evidence, and must be used within those boundaries.
Read MoreCan a Beauty-Device Classification Request Be Resubmitted After Rejection?
Changing the service provider or rewriting the same file is not enough. First identify whether the problem concerns form, document consistency, technical evidence or the regulatory route itself.
Read MoreHow to Determine the Regulatory Route Before Importing a Beauty Device into China
An import project is not simply a translation of the overseas manual. The manufacturer, Chinese agent and actual sales version must establish one verifiable set of product facts.
Read MoreShould a Domestic Beauty Device Be Submitted Nationally or Provincially?
The route is not a premium-versus-basic choice. It depends on whether the product is domestic or imported, the type of classification uncertainty and the current division of authority.
Read MoreWhy Do Beauty-Device Classification Fees Vary So Much?
The government classification service and a consulting project are not the same. A low-cost filing service and a full product, testing, supplementation and post-market consistency service may be fundamentally different.
Read MoreHow Long Does Medical Device Classification Usually Take?
The official 20- or 30-working-day period covers a defined administrative stage, not the entire period needed for product verification, testing, document preparation and supplementary submissions.
Read MoreWhat Documents Are Required for Classification of a Beauty Device?
Classification is not based on one manual alone. The product overview, specifications, images, videos, intended use and verification evidence must all describe the same real device.
