Resolution No. 738 enters into force on 26 February 2026

Resolution No. 738 of the Cabinet of Ministers, adopted on 24 November 2025, sets out a new registration regime for medical devices in the Republic of Uzbekistan. It enters into force on 26 February 2026 and replaces the framework that had been in place since 2018.

The regime is administered by the Center for Pharmaceutical Products Safety under the Ministry of Health. It introduces a risk-based classification into four safety classes, a recognition (simplified) pathway for devices already approved by reference regulators, and registration certificates valid for five years.

Manufacturers without a presence in Uzbekistan must appoint a locally established Authorized Representative recorded on the State Register. Dossier submission is electronic and requires an e-imzo electronic signature.
