Objective: to perform the translation and cultural equivalence to Brazilian Portuguese of the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS). Method: EDACS was translated into Brazilian Portuguese by two bilingual speech language therapists, specialists in dysphagia. The two translations were compared by the speech therapists, the incompatibilities were discussed among themselves and decisions were taken by consensus. After the instrument was translated, it was sent to a third Brazilian speech language therapist, bilingual and resident in the United States, for back-translation into English. The initial version of the instrument and the back-translation were compared and the discrepancies were analyzed, discussed and defined by consensus. Results: the processes of translation and cultural adaptation required more effort in defining the terms of the used consistencies and did not change the structure of the original scale. Conclusion: the cultural equivalence of the Sistema de Classificação das Habilidades do Comer e Beber – EDACS-PT/BR was performed for Brazilian Portuguese.
