SFDA Authorized Representative Sovereign Legal Custody
SFDA Statutory Custody
100% Sovereign License Ownership

Under Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) bylaws, the entity holding your Authorized Representative license controls your marketing authorization. Appointing a commercial distributor binds your intellectual property to their commercial terms.

Muhrat Al Marasim provides sovereign, unbundled legal representation. We do not distribute or take commercial margins—ensuring complete license ownership remains with your foreign headquarters.

Self-Diagnostic Assessment

Saudi Distributor Lock-in Risk Diagnostic

100% Legal Exposure

Answer 3 questions to instantly diagnose whether your medical device intellectual property is at risk of commercial partner lock-in under Saudi law.

1. Who holds the legal mandate of your SFDA Authorized Representative license?
2. Can you appoint secondary regional distributors in KSA without primary distributor consent?
3. If a commercial dispute occurs, does distributor retain statutory authority over customs clearance?
Critical Legal Alert: Severe Distributor Lock-in Detected

Your commercial partner currently has legal leverage over your marketing authorization. If performance drops or you wish to replace them, transfer requires their written consent and payment of compensation. Transition to Muhrat Al Marasim's unbundled AR to reclaim sovereign custody.

Regulatory Knowledgebase

Frequently asked questions.

Direct answers to frequent inquiries regarding SFDA MDMA submissions, authorized representation, and quality compliance.

The Medical Device Marketing Authorization (MDMA) is the official regulatory approval issued by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). It certifies that a medical device or in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) conforms to Saudi technical, safety, and performance standards. No medical device can clear customs or be marketed commercially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia without an active MDMA certificate or MDNR listing.
