🏛️ Regulatory Framework – Angola
The Angolan regulatory system is currently undergoing modernization, with a strong focus on enhancing quality control and market access. COAs are critical documentation for regulatory submission, import licensing, and customs clearance.
Regulatory Agency for Medicines and Health Technologies (ARMED) / (Agência Reguladora de Medicamentos e Tecnologias de Saúde): (Also referenced as INABEC in some sources) The main regulatory authority under the Ministry of Health responsible for regulating and licensing Pharmaceuticals (Drugs), Medical Devices, and Health Technologies. ARMED requires a CTD-style dossier for registration and conducts quality verification of incoming products.
National Institute for Quality Control (INIQ) / (Instituto Nacional para a Qualidade): The primary authority for enforcing general product quality standards for Fuel, Food, Pharmaceuticals, and other essential goods. INIQ conducts product inspections, laboratory testing, and certification procedures.
National Food Safety Authority (ANSA): Responsible for the regulation, oversight, and enforcement of Food Safety Standards, monitoring the entire food supply chain.
Angolan Institute of Standardization and Quality (IANORQ) / (Instituto Angolano de Normalização e Qualidade): The national standards body responsible for developing and implementing Angolan Standards. IANORQ is a corresponding member of the ISO and coordinates national standardization activities.
International Standards: Angolan regulations often reference major international standards:
BP / USP / EP / Ph. Int.: Primary standards for pharmaceutical quality.
Codex Alimentarius: Referenced for food safety, quality, and labeling standards.
Mandatory Shipping Document: All shipments to Angola require a CNCA (Conselho Nacional de Carregadores de Angola) / ARCCLA Certificate for customs clearance, which must be accompanied by the required commercial and quality documentation.
