Chamber sterilizers first, clinic add-ons alongside.
B-Class Dental Autoclave, 18 L / 23 L
Models ST-18B-Y and ST-23B-Y: three pre-vacuum pulses, 134 °C at about 2.1 bar, post-vacuum drying, a full cycle in about 35 minutes, LCD or digital display, air filter and safety valve, 3 L waste-water tank. 1,700 / 1,800 W, 220 V 50 Hz, 46 / 48 kg net (supplier-published). B-class is the cycle type meant for wrapped and hollow instruments such as handpieces.
N-Class Dental Autoclave, 18 L / 23 L
Models ST-18N and ST-23N: a lighter digital-display unit at 1,400 W, 21 / 23 kg net, air-cooled, chamber 245 × 355 mm or 245 × 465 mm (supplier-published). N-class cycles suit unwrapped solid instruments only — not handpieces or pouched loads. Buyers should match the class to the clinic’s instrument mix.
The Registered Device
The product registration on record is for a pressure steam sterilizer (压力蒸汽灭菌器), certificate 粤械注准20232110002, valid 2023-01-06 to 2028-01-05. Ask which of the four website models the registration covers and for the registered technical specification; a registration covers named models, not a whole catalogue.
Related Clinic Equipment
The website also lists a pouch sealing machine, a water distiller, an ultrasonic cleaner and a handpiece oil-injection machine to complete a sterilization room. Treat these as catalogue add-ons: the production licence on record covers Class II disinfection and sterilization devices, and whether these items are made in-house or sourced should be asked.
OEM Labels, Manuals & UI Language
The website offers logo, labels, packaging, manuals and interface-language options for distributors, plus a spare-parts list and remote troubleshooting (supplier-published). Private labelling a medical device changes who the legal manufacturer is in most markets — agree that in writing before artwork.
Spare Parts & Service Kits
Solenoid valves, vacuum and water pumps, door seals and filters are the wear parts on any chamber sterilizer. The website names the pump and 3 mm solenoid valves as quality components; ask for a priced spare-parts list, the recommended service interval, and whether the parts are the same across the 18 L and 23 L units.
What the registry confirms, and what stays open.
Licensed to Make Class II Sterilization Devices
A Guangdong medical-device production licence, 粤药监械生产许20235023号, runs from 2023-02-21 to 2028-02-20, and the registered scope includes Class II medical-device production and disinfection-device production. That is the permission a Chinese maker needs to produce a steam sterilizer; a trading company cannot hold it. It is the strongest fact on this record.
The Licence Image Shows an Older Name and Address
The licence image published on the company’s own website carries a former company name and a production address in Nanzhuang, Chancheng. The company has since been renamed and its registered address is now a sub-unit on the sixth floor of an industrial building in Guicheng, Nanhai. Production licences must be updated when the name or production site changes — ask for the current licence page showing today’s production address, and see that site.
One Insured Employee on Record
The 2025 annual report lists one social-insurance contributor, against 50–100 staff stated on the application and a website workshop gallery showing assembly benches and packed units. Small medical-device makers do sometimes run staff through agencies or affiliates, but a licensed producer needs named quality and production personnel. Ask who they are and where they are employed.
Export Registration Is Recent
Customs registration as an import/export consignor-consignee was made at Nanhai Customs on 2026-06-01. The website states exports to more than 50 countries and over 1,000 clients. Both can be true if earlier shipments went through agents; ask for recent export declarations or the forwarder’s bills of lading to see the company’s own track record.
Domestic Approval Is Not Export Approval
The licence and registration on record are Chinese approvals. Selling a dental steam sterilizer abroad needs the destination market’s own clearance — a notified-body CE certificate under the EU Medical Device Regulation, 510(k) clearance in the United States, and testing to EN 13060 for small steam sterilizers are the usual asks. The application ticks CE, FDA, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001; no documents were provided and none is on record. None is claimed here.
Clean Record, Good Tax Rating
No abnormal-operation, penalty, enforcement, dishonesty or litigation record appears. The company holds an A tax-credit rating for 2025. Registered capital is RMB 1 million with about RMB 430,000 paid in. Three trademarks are registered; the one certificate shown on the website is in a former company name.
What was checked — and what the check found.
The stamp rests on a registration check plus the two permissions a Chinese sterilizer maker must hold: the credit code passes the national check-digit rule, the company is active with an A tax rating and no adverse record, and a Class II medical-device production licence and a product registration for a pressure steam sterilizer are on record, both valid to 2028. What stays open: the licence image on the company’s own website shows a former name and a production address in Chancheng, while the company is now registered in a sixth-floor sub-unit in Nanhai; one employee is insured against 50–100 stated; customs registration dates only from June 2026; and no CE, FDA or ISO 13485 document was provided. What would close it: the current licence page with today’s production address, a live walkthrough of that site, the EN 13060 test report, and the CE or 510(k) file for the model and market you are buying for.
A licensed sterilizer maker, read off the record and its own website.
Snow Medical is the trading name of Foshan Snow Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (佛山市斯诺医疗器械有限公司), registered in Foshan on 2018-01-23 and formerly known under two other names. It makes chamber steam sterilizers for dental clinics — 18 L and 23 L units in B-class and N-class versions — and sells a small range of sterilization-room accessories alongside them through snowautoclave.com.
The record behind it is more specific than most small suppliers’: a Guangdong Class II medical-device production licence covering disinfection and sterilization devices, and a product registration for a pressure steam sterilizer, both valid until 2028. Those are the permissions a Chinese factory needs before it can legally produce the device at all, and the company holds an A tax-credit rating with no adverse record.
What a buyer should still settle is the gap between the paperwork and the footprint. The licence image on the website carries an older name and a Chancheng production address; the company is now registered at a sixth-floor sub-unit in Nanhai, insures one employee, and registered with customs in June 2026. Export certifications were ticked, not supplied. Contact routes through ChinaMakersHub; direct details are exchanged after first inquiry.
From a 2018 registration, on the record.
Company registered in Foshan
The company is registered on 2018-01-23 with a Chancheng credit-code prefix. It has since traded under two earlier names before the current Snow Medical name. Confirmed on the enterprise record.
HOLY FIELD trademark
A class 11 trademark for disinfection and sterilization equipment is registered on 2020-03-28, valid to 2030, in one of the company’s former names (certificate image on the company website).
Licence and product registration
A Guangdong registration for a pressure steam sterilizer is granted on 2023-01-06, followed by a Class II medical-device production licence on 2023-02-21, both running five years.
Customs registration and website
The company registers with Nanhai Customs as an import/export consignor-consignee on 2026-06-01. The snowautoclave.com catalogue of B-class and N-class units carries uploads from March to August 2026.

Registry read 2026-09-10: active, licensed and registered to 2028, A tax rating, no adverse record. Open and stated: current production address after the name and address change, one insured employee, recent export registration, and undocumented CE, FDA and ISO ticks.
Who these autoclaves are for.
Dental Equipment Distributors
A two-size, two-class autoclave range with published specifications and OEM labelling. Before importing, confirm who will be the legal manufacturer and authorised representative in your market and that the CE or 510(k) file names your exact model.
Dental Clinic Chains
18 L units for single surgeries and 23 L for busier sterilization rooms. Specify B-class if your loads include wrapped instruments or handpieces; ask for the EN 13060 type-test report and the Bowie-Dick / helix test results for the cycle you will run.
Tattoo, Beauty & Veterinary Clinics
Chamber steam sterilizers are also used outside dentistry. Local rules on sterilization records and validated cycles differ; ask for the cycle printout or data-logging option and a user manual in your language.
Government & NGO Health Tenders
Tenders usually require the manufacturer’s licence, product registration, ISO 13485 and a recognised export certificate. The first two are on record; ask for the others before you bid with this supplier.
Private-Label Brands
Logo, packaging, manuals and interface language are offered. Putting your brand on a medical device usually makes you responsible for its conformity — agree technical-file access, change control and complaint handling in the supply contract.
Service & Spare-Parts Businesses
Vacuum pumps, solenoid valves, door gaskets and filters for installed units. Ask for a priced parts list, exploded diagrams and whether parts are interchangeable across the 18 L and 23 L models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Snow Medical make?
Chamber steam sterilizers for dental clinics: 18 L and 23 L units in B-class (three pre-vacuum pulses, drying, about 35 minutes per cycle, LCD or digital display) and N-class (lighter digital units) versions. The website also lists a pouch sealer, water distiller, ultrasonic cleaner and handpiece oil-injection machine as related equipment.
Is it licensed to manufacture medical devices?
Yes, on the record. It holds Guangdong medical-device production licence 粤药监械生产许20235023号, valid 2023-02-21 to 2028-02-20, covering Class II disinfection and sterilization devices, and product registration 粤械注准20232110002 for a pressure steam sterilizer, valid to 2028-01-05.
Why is the production address an open check?
The licence image the company publishes on its own website shows a former company name and a production address in Nanzhuang, Chancheng. The company is now registered at a sixth-floor sub-unit of an industrial building in Guicheng, Nanhai. A licence must be updated when the name or production site changes. Ask for the current licence page and a live walkthrough of the address on it.
What is the difference between B-class and N-class?
Under EN 13060, the European standard for small steam sterilizers, N-class cycles are for unwrapped solid instruments. B-class cycles use fractionated pre-vacuum to remove air from wrapped, porous and hollow loads such as handpieces. Most dental clinics that pouch instruments need B-class.
Does it have CE or FDA clearance?
None was sighted. The application ticks CE and FDA, but no documents were provided and none appears on the public record. For the EU, a dental sterilizer needs a CE certificate from a notified body under the Medical Device Regulation; in the United States, steam sterilizers are Class II devices that generally need 510(k) clearance. Ask for the certificate and check it in EUDAMED or the FDA database.
How many people work there?
One employee is insured on the 2025 annual report. The application states 50–100 and the website shows a workshop with assembly benches. Ask who holds the quality-management and production-management roles the licence requires, and where the assembly staff are employed.
Can it export in its own name?
Yes, since 2026-06-01, when it registered at Nanhai Customs as an import/export consignor-consignee. The website’s claim of exports to more than 50 countries predates that registration; ask for recent export declarations or bills of lading.
What are the MOQ and lead times?
The application states an MOQ of one unit, annual capacity of 3,000 units, sampling “3” with no unit, and production in 7–10 days. Confirm lead time for OEM-labelled units and for the certification documents your market needs, which usually take longer than the machine.
What did the ChinaMakersHub check find?
Run on 2026-09-10 against Chinese enterprise records: active, registered 2018-01-23, RMB 1 million registered and about RMB 430,000 paid in, two former names; Class II medical-device production and disinfection-device production in scope; production licence and sterilizer registration valid to 2028; Nanhai Customs consignor-consignee since 2026-06-01; A tax rating for 2025; one insured employee; three trademarks, no patents; no adverse record. Stated as found: the licence image shows an older name and a Chancheng production address, headcount differs sharply from the application, and export certifications were not supplied.
