Brazil GMP Quality System Implementation and Compliance

See all quality consulting services.

Many companies that want to sell medical devices or IVD products in Brazil must comply with Brazilian Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) quality system requirements. The requirements for medical devices are specified in Brazilian resolution RDC 16/2013.

In 2009, Brazil's regulatory agency (ANVISA) issued a resolution, RDC 25/2009, that made Brazilian GMP mandatory for many equipment and device manufacturers starting May 22, 2010. ANVISA conducts inspections of domestic and foreign medical device manufacturers to determine compliance with Brazil GMP regulations. Upon successful completion of an audit, ANVISA will then issue the GMP certificate, which is necessary to register a medical device in Brazil for some products.

Brazil's GMP regulations most closely resemble the US FDA Quality System Regulation, also known an FDA GMP.

The sections of Brazilian GMP include:

• General Provisions
• Quality System Requirements
• Project Controls
• Control of Documents and Records
• Purchasing Controls
• Identification and Traceability
• Process and Production Controls
• Inspection and Testing
• Non-Conforming Products and Components
• Corrective Action
• Handling, Storage, Distribution, and Installation
• Packaging and Labeling Controls
• Records
• Technical Assistance
• Statistical Techniques
