Rejeição de Lote e Multa por Não-Conformidade com ABNT NBR 5426

R$ 50,000–150,000/year (estimated: 10–15 rejected batches × R$ 5,000–10,000 cost per rejection + regulatory fines R$ 10,000–20,000 per violation)

ABNT NBR 5426 establishes mandatory acceptance sampling levels (AQL) for rubber material batches. Non-compliance or failed verification results in rejected shipments, production delays, and regulatory fines from ANVISA (surgical gloves under RDC 55) or Ministry of Labor (biological protection gloves under Portaria 672). Manual inspection workflows introduce human error, missed defects, and incomplete documentation, leading to audit failure.

Multas por Comercialização de Luvas Não Certificadas

Estimated penalty range: R$ 5,000–R$ 50,000 per violation (typical administrative fines for selling unregistered medical devices in Brazil). Testing/certification costs: R$ 10,000–R$ 40,000 per product variant. Rework cycles: 30–90 additional days per failed submission = 5–15% delayed revenue.

Mandatory certification requirement for surgical gloves (natural rubber, synthetic rubber, PVC) per Portaria MTP nº 672/2021. Non-compliance results in product seizure and administrative fines. Certification body evaluation includes ISO 9001 audits, physical resistance testing, microbiological barrier assessment, and durability verification.

Desperdício de Matéria-Prima por Amostragem Manual Inadequada (ABNT NBR 5426)

R$ 25,000–70,000/year (estimated: 5–8 excess sampling cycles/year × R$ 4,000–10,000 material waste + lab re-test fees R$ 1,000–2,000 per cycle)

ABNT NBR 5426 specifies precise sample sizes based on batch volume and AQL (Acceptable Quality Level). Manual calculation and selection of samples introduces errors: oversized samples (too much material destroyed), under-sized samples (requiring re-sampling), and duplicate sampling due to lost documentation. Each error costs raw material waste and lab re-run fees.

Custo Brasil em Certificação: Taxa de Auditoria ISO 9001 e Documentação Técnica

ISO 9001 audit cost: R$ 10,000–R$ 25,000 (initial certification), R$ 5,000–R$ 15,000 (annual surveillance). Technical dossier preparation: R$ 5,000–R$ 15,000 (labor + documentation software). QMS training/maintenance: R$ 10,000–R$ 20,000/year. Total annual cost: R$ 30,000–R$ 70,000 for ongoing compliance. As percentage of revenue: 2–8% for small manufacturers (< R$ 1M annual sales).

Mandatory SGQ audit (ISO 9001 / ABNT NBR ISO 9001) per Art. 5, Portaria 672/2021. Manufacturers must maintain certified QMS, schedule annual surveillance audits, document all process controls, and manage non-conformance reports. Smaller manufacturers lack economies of scale for these fixed costs.
