What Does NSE Stand For?
NSE stands for Not Substantially Equivalent
NSE, or Not Substantially Equivalent, refers to a regulatory designation indicating that a product, device, or procedure does not meet the criteria for equivalence to an existing benchmark or standard within a specific industry. This designation often triggers additional scrutiny, evaluation, and testing requirements to ensure safety, efficacy, and compliance with applicable regulations. NSE status can impact the market entry and development pathway for new innovations.
