Since 1 July 2026, all medical devices and IVDs placed on the Swiss market must be registered in swissdamed, the Swissmedic database. The transition period ends on 31 December 2026. Swissmedic charges a one-time fee for each registered UDI-DI. Use the calculator above to estimate the amount for your devices.
How much is the Swissmedic registration fee in swissdamed?
Per manufacturer and calendar year, Swissmedic charges CHF 200 for the first registered UDI-DI and CHF 20 for each further UDI-DI. The fee is capped at CHF 10,000 per manufacturer and year, which is reached at 491 UDI-DIs.
Is the fee charged every year?
No. The fee is paid once per UDI-DI. Updates to existing registrations, Basic UDI-DIs and package UDI-DIs are free of charge. The counter for the base fee and the cap restarts on 1 January.
When does Swissmedic issue the invoice?
The first invoice is issued from January 2027 for all UDI-DIs registered by 31 December 2026 with the status On the market. After that, new registrations are invoiced up to once a month.
Who receives the invoice for manufacturers outside Switzerland?
For non-Swiss manufacturers, Swissmedic sends the invoice to the Swiss Authorised Representative (CH-REP), with a separate invoice per mandate.
How does CHREP.me handle the Swissmedic fees?
As your CH-REP, CHREP.me registers your UDI-DIs, receives the Swissmedic invoice and pays it in Switzerland. The official fee is passed on at cost with our next regular invoice, plus an administration fee of CHF 25 per Swissmedic invoice – one payment instead of costly foreign transfers.
