Entering the Turkish market with allograft-based products requires a precise understanding of regulatory pathways, documentation standards, and authority expectations. At TUSEM Consulting, we provide end-to-end guidance for manufacturers and importers seeking compliant, efficient, and successful product registration.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for:
- Manufacturers of human-derived tissue and cell-based products (allografts)
- Importers / distributors aiming to place allograft products on the Turkish market
- Companies requiring a local representative / license holder
If you are dealing with human tissue, bone grafts, skin substitutes, or similar biological materials, your products fall under strict national regulations and require structured registration.
Regulatory Framework in Turkey
Allograft products in Turkey are regulated under the Ministry of Health’s framework for human tissues and cells, rather than standard medical device pathways.
The process typically involves:
- Approval from the relevant Scientific and Ethical Commissions
- Compliance with Tissue and Cell Centers Regulation
- Traceability and donor safety validation
- Import permits and “Fatura Şerhi” (Invoice Annotation) approvals
- Registration and tracking via national systems where applicable
This is not a simple submission—it is a multi-layered approval process requiring technical, ethical, and logistical alignment.
Our Consultation Scope
1. Regulatory Strategy & Classification
We assess your product and define the correct regulatory pathway:
- Product classification (tissue, cell, combined product, etc.)
- Determination of applicable regulations and permits
- Market entry feasibility analysis
2. Documentation Review & Gap Analysis
We evaluate your existing dossier and identify missing elements:
- Donor eligibility and screening documentation
- Processing and sterilization validation
- Traceability and labeling compliance
- Clinical and safety data
- GMP / ISO certifications
You receive a clear action plan to reach compliance.
3. Dossier Preparation & Submission Support
We assist in preparing a complete, submission-ready file:

5. Local Representative / License Holder Services
For foreign manufacturers, we can act as:

This is often a mandatory requirement for market entry.

Registration is not the end. We support:
