CBPF Certificate — Validity & Renewal

The CBPF (Certificado de Boas Práticas de Fabricação) issued by ANVISA or state VISA has a defined validity period that varies by device class and certificate type — typically 2–5 years.

Renewal process:

1. Apply for renewal via Peticionamento Eletrônico before the certificate expires.
2. ANVISA schedules a renewal inspection (or document review for lower-risk manufacturers).
3. Any non-conformities found must be corrected.
4. Upon satisfactory resolution, ANVISA issues a new CBPF.

A lapsed CBPF means the manufacturer cannot legally manufacture and sell Class II, III, or IV devices in Brazil, and the registration holder cannot import under an expired foreign GMP certificate. ANVISA may suspend the product registration if the CBPF is not renewed.
