LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE GUIDE

How to Change a Local Agent for Medical Devices in Bangladesh

A practical overview of the documents and regulatory considerations when a foreign manufacturer changes its Bangladesh local agent.

Can a manufacturer change its local agent?

Yes, but the change should be handled through the appropriate regulatory process because the local representative or registration holder is connected to the product registration.

Documents commonly referenced

Manufacturer-signed Letter of Authorization.
Legal agreement between the current and new registration holder.
Original product registration certificates.
No Objection Letter (NOL) from the current registration holder/local agent.

Before changing agent: Review certificate ownership, original documents, registered product list and responsibilities of both representatives.

Maintain regulatory continuity

A planned transfer helps reduce disruption to registrations and future regulatory activities. A duplicate-certificate issue fee or additional requirements may apply depending on the case.
