RDC 47/13 and LIMS: How to Apply Good Manufacturing Practices for Sanitizing Products
Understand RDC 47/13 and how to apply Good Manufacturing Practices for sanitizing products using technology, training, and an efficient LIMS system.
In the sanitizing products industry, compliance is synonymous with trust, and for those working in this sector, ensuring that products meet the requirements of Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) No. 47/2013, issued by ANVISA (Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency), is a commitment to public health and to brand credibility. And a LIMS can help with that!
RDC 47/13 is a regulation that establishes Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for Sanitizing Products, covering everything from infrastructure and staff training to laboratory testing, traceability, and complaint management.
In this article, you’ll understand the impact of RDC 47/13 on the daily operations of sanitizing product manufacturers, as well as how a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can be your greatest ally in achieving compliance. At the end, we also point you to a free, certified mini-course with renowned experts to deepen your knowledge.
What Is RDC 47/13 and Why Is It So Important for the Sanitizing Products Industry?
RDC No. 47/2013 is the ANVISA regulation that establishes the guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for sanitizing products. It defines the minimum requirements that ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of these products, from raw material selection through final product release.
Unlike other resolutions, RDC 47/13 is not limited to recommendations: it requires a structured Quality Management System, with documented procedures, process control, trained personnel, and a laboratory capable of monitoring and validating production.
Correctly applying this regulation is not just a legal requirement — it’s also what ensures the products delivered to the market are free of contamination, with formulations that are effective and safe for consumers. By following the regulation companies safeguard the integrity of their products, strengthening their credibility and protecting public health.

How to Ensure Compliance with RDC 47/13: Practical Actions for the Sanitizing Products Industry
Being compliant with RDC 47/2013 isn’t just about one-off adherence to the regulation — it’s a continuous effort that involves embedding good practices into the organization’s daily routine. Although using a LIMS is not a requirement of the regulation, it acts as an essential enabler, supporting process monitoring, document management, and data analysis, which contributes to decisions that are safer, more traceable, and better aligned with regulatory requirements.
In addition, investing in specialized courses and training is essential so professionals understand the regulation and know how to apply it correctly in their daily work. Conducting periodic internal audits is also an indispensable practice: it allows non-conformities to be identified, improvement opportunities to be mapped, and processes to remain aligned with regulatory requirements.
Above all, it’s important to understand that compliance depends on the commitment of the entire organization, from senior management down to the production line. Without this alignment, maintaining high standards of quality and safety becomes unsustainable in the long run.
How a LIMS Contributes to Compliance with RDC 47/13
To consistently meet the requirements of RDC 47/13, it’s essential to have a system that goes beyond manual process control. A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) helps laboratories and manufacturers digitize, automate, and standardize critical processes.
Actiz LIMS is a complete platform that digitizes, automates, and standardizes critical activities, promoting full traceability, fewer failures, and operational efficiency at every stage.
With dedicated modules for sample management, batch management, analysis requests, sampling, and test configuration, the LIMS makes it possible to organize the entire work execution chain in a structured, intelligent way — from sample intake through certificate issuance.
By integrating areas such as production, the laboratory, and quality assurance, Actiz LIMS delivers greater operational visibility, faster decision-making, and fewer human errors — factors that are fundamental for anyone pursuing excellence and ongoing compliance with RDC 47/2013.
