Device registration in 广东省, China: 559 companies and 9,812 certificates

This note uses our own data to map device registration in 广东省, China: how many companies, how many certificates, how the classes break down, which companies hold the most, and which overseas markets those companies reached. Data as of 2026-09-07.

Volume and rank

As of 2026-09-07 the database holds 559 companies in 广东省 with Chinese registrations or filings, 9,812 certificates in total, ranking 2 among the provincial-level areas covered. That is 17.6 certificates per company against a national average of 8.1 — above the national average, indicating a concentration of larger certificate holders.

What the class split shows

By class: 3,333 Class I filings, 5,325 Class II and 1,130 Class III registrations. Class II and III together are 6,455 certificates, 66% of the total, against 44% nationally.

Class I is a filing regime administered locally with a low barrier, so it dominates by count everywhere; comparing provinces on Class I volume tells you little. The share of Class II and III is the discriminating measure. 广东省 sits above the national average, which suggests a product mix weighted toward higher-risk classes and heavier registration and clinical-evaluation investment.

Companies holding the most certificates

The "Markets" column counts how many of the 14 official registries in this database return records for that company. Follow a company link to see per-market record counts, class distribution, and the similar names that were excluded during verification.

Overseas footprint

Of the 559 companies recorded in 广东省, 317 also have registrations outside China — 57%. By market: 欧盟 224, 美国 187, 巴西 152, 澳大利亚 120, 英国 119, 以色列 105.

Read that share with care: the Chinese side groups by company name and the overseas side verifies manufacturer names record by record. Where the two spellings differ the link fails, so "not found" does not mean "does not exist".

By main product terms, 广东省 concentrates in 心电导联线, 医用外科口罩, 臂式电子血压计, 一次性血氧探头, 血压袖带, 医用隔离面罩, 一次性使用麻醉面罩, 电子血压计.

How to read these numbers

Every market figure on this site is the result of **re-checking each manufacturer name record by record**, not a raw hit count from a registry search interface. Name search in these registries is generally a substring match: searching EUDAMED for "Edan" returns 1,933 records, of which 434 belong to HANEDAN in Turkey and 300 to TeDan Surgical in the United States — taking the raw count would overstate by more than 60 percent. We therefore require the distinctive token to appear as a whole word and demand a genuinely distinguishing shared token; generic words such as "medical" or "systems" never qualify on their own, and the similar names that were excluded are listed on each company page. Chinese data comes from NMPA public registration and filing records grouped by company name; filings map to Class I, provincial approvals to Class II and national approvals to Class III. Each market counts a different unit (the EU counts UDI-DI device records, the US counts listed device types, Canada and Brazil count valid registrations, Korea counts quality-system certifications), so figures cannot be summed or compared across markets. The full basis, official portals and query paths are at the methodology page.
