The Singapore Standard SS 620 : 2016 – Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices - Requirements was developed by SPRING Singapore under the Singapore Standardisation Programme. This standard focuses on the requirements for distributors and importers to ensure the quality and integrity of the medical devices throughout the distribution process for all medical devices. The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) will implement the SS 620 : 2016 on 9 November 2017 and the SS 620 : 2016 will replace the HSA Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices – Requirements, Revision 2.1 (HSA GDPMDS TS-01, R2.1) as the certification standard from 9 November 2020 onwards.
This workshop aims to help government agencies and conformity assessment bodies be familiarised with the SS 620 : 2016, its implementation plan and transition period. Our invited SS GDPMDS Working Group members, Ms Priscilla Koh and Ms Lim Na, shared on the differences between the SS 620 : 2016 and the HSA GDPMDS TS-01, R2.1, and the updates for the GN-33: Guidance on the Application of Singapore Standard Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices respectively. This event was attended by 31 participants.
