Logistics & Supply Chain Compliance

Compliant Warehousing, Distribution & Market Readiness in Saudi Arabia

Once your medical devices and IVDs are approved for import, ensuring compliant storage, handling, and distribution becomes a critical requirement for successful market entry.

At Bio-Standards, we support manufacturers and distributors in establishing fully compliant logistics operations in Saudi Arabia—ensuring your supply chain is efficient, scalable, and aligned with SFDA regulatory requirements.

End-to-End MDEL & MDIL Support

We provide comprehensive support for:

Any entity handling medical devices locally must obtain an MDEL from the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA).

The MDIL is required for importing medical devices into Saudi Arabia and must be secured prior to shipment.

It applies to:

• Medical devices and IVDs
• Non-medical IVDs
• Chemicals, gases, and distillates
