We’ve added Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) Medical Device license checks to our Korean Business Profiles. In the Licenses section you now see, for each Korean company or busines:
- Whether a Medical Device license is held
- License type (full list below)
- Registration date
- License number
- Status (Active / Not Active)
Medical Device License Types Covered (full list)
- Import (Active / Not Active)
- Manufacturing (Active / Not Active)
Why This Matters
Operating in the medical device field typically requires an MFDS license. This update lets you quickly verify whether a business holds the relevant license type, together with its status and registration details. Example: You can immediately see if a Korean company that distribute medical devices in Korea is only an importer, a manufacturer, or both.
Notes: Companies with multiple Medical Device licenses appear as separate lines. Status reflects the MFDS registry at the time of our latest sync.
