Anvisa Resolution RDC no. 27, of June 27th, 2011.
Sole Paragraph. The criteria for including Brazilian standards to the list aforementioned in the
caput shall be established at Anvisa's discretion on the grounds of the risk requirements of the
equipment subject to health surveillance.
Article 2. Should the technical standard be listed in the herein Annex, but it is not possible to
issue the certification due to the lack of testing laboratories, according to the rules of SBAC
with regard to the selection of laboratories, the Product Certification Body (OCP) shall issue a
statement certifying the impossibility of providing such certification at that moment due to the
lack of laboratories.
Sole Paragraph. The rationale addressed thereof shall have technical basis on the field of
application and on the requirements of the standard, the company being hereby allowed, at
their own discretion, to have such justification provided by an OCP.
Article 4. The following actions shall be taken if the herein indicated technical standards and
those referred to in the respective standards are cancelled or changed:
I - should the standard be cancelled or changed due to the publication of a more updated
version, the latter shall be adopted regardless of its international origin, whereas its national
equivalent established by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) shall only be
adopted after being published and having come into force.
II - should the standard be cancelled without a direct replacement, other existing technical
standards with similar scope shall be adopted as far as possible within the scope of ABNT,
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), or International Organization for
Standardization (ISO).
Sole Paragraph. The replacement aforementioned in subsection II shall be duly justified,
documented, and a mutual agreement between the testing laboratory, the Product
Certification Body (PCP) and the equipment manufacturer.
Article 6. As to the equipment being tested in laboratories until the date of publication of this
Normative Instruction, the certifications issued according to the valid versions of series IEC
60601 shall be temporarily accepted in the beginning of the certification process for a period
of 12 months, counted from the date of publication of this Normative Instruction.
Article 7. This Normative Instruction shall come into force on the date of its publication.
