  • A large consumer market with strong demand for compliant healthcare products
  • A mature medtech ecosystem with established procurement and distribution channels
  • Strong B2B infrastructure supporting partnerships and scale

Why Romania

Romania is an EU Member State and can serve as a practical base for EU economic-operator setup and first-market execution—combining regulatory discipline with hands-on commercial rollout.

  • EU-based economic-operator setup: structured onboarding for importer/distributor responsibilities under EU rules (MDR/IVDR where applicable)
  • Romania authority pathway management: support for ANMDMR steps related to import activity approval and national database registration workflows for medical devices.
  • Food supplement notification support: guidance aligned with Romania’s official notification framework published by the Ministry of Health (CRSP routes as applicable).
  • Commercial execution: Romania go-to-market across regulated channels (pharmacies, e-commerce, and hospital tenders), built on local operational experience.

Romania-first, EU-ready expansion

Any EU Member State can be an entry base. We focus on Romania because we can execute end-to-end locally—regulatory setup, authority workflows, and commercial rollout—then support structured expansion into additional EU markets.

EU BASE

EU Economic-Operator Setup

Importer/distributor readiness for non-EU manufacturers entering the EU, with audit-friendly documentation workflows.

FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Romania Notification Support

Dossier and label readiness aligned with Romania’s food supplement notification framework (Ministry of Health / CRSP route as applicable).

MEDICAL DEVICES

ANMDMR Pathway Support

Romania-specific operational guidance for medical device import/distribution requirements with the competent authority (ANMDMR).

ROMANIA EXECUTION

Romania Go-To-Market

Pharmacy channel rollout, compliant marketplaces, and hospital tender readiness based on local execution capability.

How it works

01 → 02 → 03 → 04 → 05

STEP 01

Regulatory screening

  • Confirm product route: Medical Device (MDR) / IVD (IVDR) / Food Supplement
  • Review intended purpose + claims and identify compliance gaps
  • Define the economic-operator setup needed for EU market entry (importer/distributor model)

Output: Regulatory screening memo + gap checklist

STEP 02

Documentation & labelling readiness

  • Align technical/commercial documentation to the applicable route (MDR/IVDR or food rules)
  • Prepare label/IFU readiness including Romanian language where required for the local launch
  • Ensure information supplied with devices follows Member State language rules (as applicable)

Output: Label/IFU pack + claims alignment notes

STEP 03

Romania authorisations & notifications

Medical devices

  • Support for ANMDMR/NAMMDR operating approvals for import/distribution activity in Romania
  • EUDAMED economic operator registration workflow: submission → authority validation → SRN issued

Food supplements

  • Dossier support aligned to Romania’s official notification pathway (MoH / CRSP / IBA, as applicable)

Output: Romania approval/notification dossier pack

STEP 04

Commercial launch in Romania

  • Channel rollout: pharmacy chains + independents + compliant e-commerce
  • Marketplace readiness (correct listings, compliant claims, traceability)
  • Hospital/tender readiness where relevant (documentation discipline + procurement execution)

Output: Launch plan + compliant listings pack

STEP 05

Scale into other EU markets

  • Medical devices: EU scaling is driven by MDR/IVDR compliance plus Member State requirements (notably language requirements for IFU/labeling).
  • Supplements: expansion is assessed country-by-country (composition limits, claims, and notification rules may differ).
  • Mutual recognition (Reg. (EU) 2019/515): relevant mainly for non-harmonised/partly harmonised goods; we assess applicability case-by-case and document the rationale.

Output: EU expansion plan (markets, requirements, sequencing)

Romania Market Access

The practical difference between “EU-ready” and “Romania-ready”: authority pathways, notification realities, and compliant channel execution.

MEDICAL
DEVICES

Romania legal selling pathway

  • Import/distribution activities: controlled via an approval/permit mechanism (“avizare”) under the ANMDMR framework.
  • EUDAMED actor registration: SRN is issued after competent-authority validation/verification (ANMDMR role).
  • National database registration: ANMDMR states this is not an approval/authorization and not a confirmation of compliance.

FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Romania notification dossier

  • Notification dossier and label readiness aligned with Romania’s Ministry of Health notification framework (including the regional CRSP routes where applicable).
  • Operational support for the IBA notification workflow and documentation package expectations (where the IBA route applies).
  • Claims discipline + Romanian language compliance: we prevent “market-ready” products from becoming “stuck at notification.”

GO
TO MARKET

Compliant channel rollout in Romania

  • Pharmacy chains + independents: onboarding support, trade terms alignment, compliant materials pack.
  • Marketplaces: compliant listings, claim-safe content, traceability/returns logic.
  • Hospital tenders: SEAP public procurement readiness (documentation pack + bid discipline)
