The license that supports your operation with local compliance and regulatory security
The Sanitary License (LS) is one of the essential documents for companies operating in ANVISA-regulated markets. It is issued by the municipal or state Health Surveillance authority and authorizes your establishment to operate in accordance with the sanitary requirements established by current legislation.
Obtaining the LS is a critical step in ensuring that your operation complies with: safety, hygiene, and sanitary regulations, reducing the risk of penalties, fines, inventory seizures, and, in more serious cases, the suspension of your activities.
DSL Consult manages the Sanitary License process with efficiency and agility, reducing complexity and shortening the time required for approval while ensuring that your company meets all legal requirements to operate safely, regularly, and efficiently.

What Is the Sanitary Operating License (LS) in Practice?
The Sanitary License (LS) is an official document issued by Health Surveillance authorities confirming that your company complies with sanitary requirements and is therefore authorized to operate according to its business activity.
The LS is issued based on the company’s CNAE classifications and the product categories it intends to work with.
This document is essential for companies such as manufacturers, filling facilities, distributors, importers, logistics warehouses, transport companies, clinics, clinical analysis laboratories, and other regulated businesses, allowing them to operate legally and safely without the risk of interruptions or sanctions.
To obtain approval, the establishment must undergo an assessment of its sanitary and hygienic conditions, which may include everything from the evaluation of the physical structure to the review of the Good Practices Manual and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), always according to the requirements of the local Health Surveillance authority.
If your company is required to hold a Sanitary License and does not have one, it is operating at risk. This may result in fines, suspension of activities, product seizure or mandatory product recall until regularization is completed — and in some cases, even product destruction.
The Sanitary License is essential for:
Manufacturers and industrial companies producing products of sanitary interest, such as medical devices, cosmetics, medicines, sanitizing products, food products, and related categories
Distributors and importers that commercialize products regulated by ANVISA and local Health Surveillance authorities
Logistics operators and transport companies handling products that require sanitary control, such as medicines and healthcare products
If your company does not have the required Sanitary License, it may be operating irregularly, which can lead to fines or suspension of activities until proper regularization is completed.

Lower costs and reduced operational risk
Having an adequate and compliant structure reduces the need to redo processes or correct avoidable issues, saving time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
“Is the Sanitary Operating License mandatory for every type of company?”
No. The license is mandatory for companies whose operations involve products or services of sanitary interest, such as medical devices, food products, medicines, controlled substances, cosmetics, and sanitizing products. It is also required for healthcare service providers.
“Can I obtain the LS while the facility is under renovation?”
It depends on the type of renovation. Health Surveillance authorities may allow the license process to move forward while certain works are still in progress, as long as the renovations do not compromise the minimum required conditions. However, the ideal approach is to complete the adjustments before filing the application.
“How long does it take to obtain a Sanitary License?”
The timeline varies depending on the municipality, but DSL Consult works to make the process faster and more efficient, avoiding unnecessary delays and helping your company obtain the license as quickly as possible.
