BGMP
Certification
Management
Complying with Brazil’s quality standards for Class III and IV Medical Devices
Brazilian Good Manufacturing Practices (BGMP) Certification is mandatory for Class III and IV medical devices. Manufacturers must meet ANVISA’s requirements to demonstrate quality and safety before entering the Brazilian market.
Certification pathways
ANVISA can grant BGMP certification through one of three pathways:
- On-site inspection by ANVISA;
- Review of the submitted documentation;
- Evaluation of a valid MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) audit report.
As a founding member of the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF), ANVISA recognizes MDSAP reports from audits performed in partnership with regulators from Canada, the U.S., Australia, and Japan — streamlining compliance for many manufacturers.
MDSAP: A strategic path to BGMP Certification
Manufacturers certified under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) can benefit from a more strategic path to ANVISA’s BGMP certification. When using an MDSAP audit report, the BGMP certificate can be issued with a validity of four years — twice as long as the standard route.
In addition to the extended validity, this path often accelerates ANVISA’s review, making it an ideal option for companies looking to streamline their certification process and stay ahead of regulatory timelines.
We can help you confirm if this route is right for your product and take care of every step, no
matter which certification path you need to follow.
