## How to submit in Chile

Playbook reviewed · 2026-07-16

Submission route

ISP notification / registration

Chile operates a light-touch notification regime for most devices, with registration required for higher-risk categories.

[Authority portal](https://www.ispch.cl/)

### Step-by-step

1.  Step 01
    
    Appoint local representation
    
    Most jurisdictions require a locally-established entity to hold the registration or act as authorised representative before submission.
    
2.  Step 02
    
    Reuse FDA or CE package as baseline
    
    Adapt the cybersecurity subsection you already prepared for FDA or CE; regulators here typically accept the structure and ask for local labeling additions.
    
3.  Step 03
    
    Translate and localise
    
    Local-language technical summary and labeling are usually mandatory; certified translation is safest.
    
4.  Step 04
    
    Submit + track queries
    
    Respond to clarification rounds promptly; each unanswered question can add 30-90 days to the clock.
