INMETRO certification
Gain product approval to access the potential of the Brazilian market
Manufacturers and suppliers of an array of products including electric medical devices, household appliances, toys, automotive components, tyres and wheels need to show compliance to existing Brazilian regulations and specific standards before entering the Brazilian market. Customers demand high levels of quality and safety for these products. For this reason, companies must demonstrate their commitment to quality and safety through a third-party certificate. To achieve these high standards, companies need good quality assurance services, which require a combination of accuracy, technical expertise, fast service and good customer assistance.
INMETRO, the Brazilian accreditation body, is responsible for the accreditation of each product Certification Body (CB). In addition, INMETRO defines the products and the respective requirements within this certification scheme. Products manufactured in or exported to Brazil need a CB-issued certificate, stating that the product or family meets the Brazilian requirements. Additional market access requirements could be required depending on the specific products. For more information, please contact us directly.
Having a product certified by an INMETRO-accredited CB provides assurance that the product is in compliance with Brazilian regulations and required safety standards. If you are planning to introduce products to the Brazilian market, you may wish to consult with TÜV SÜD to find out if your products fall under the mandatory requirement for certification.
The regional office requires that you fill a set of documents and forms with information regarding your company, manufacturer and product. You need to nominate a Legal Representative, which is a Brazilian-based company that will represent the product in Brazil. The certification service will only start after the approval of the Legal Representative.
