INMETRO certification

Demonstrate compliance of your products and vehicles with INMETRO regulations to access the Brazilian market.
Regulatory Compliance

What is INMETRO certification?

The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO) is the Brazilian regulatory agency that evaluates compliance requirements for products manufactured in or exported to Brazil. This includes many consumer and industrial products such as electrical and medical devices, household appliances, and automotive components and vehicles.

The INMETRO certification scheme establishes a minimum standard of quality and safety for a comprehensive list of components. As new INMETRO Brazil regulations are released and current ones updated, this is constantly evolving.

TÜV SÜD is accredited as a Certified Body to provide all INMETRO compliance services, including factory audits, legal representative assessments, testing, and technical evaluation.

Why INMETRO Brazil certification is important

Brazil INMETRO certification ensures that your products comply with regulations and required safety standards. If you are planning to introduce products to the Brazilian market that require certification, it is essential that they are tested and approved by an accredited provider. Failure to do so could result in products being banned, and you could receive a fine.

The five-step process to obtain INMETRO certificate

Obtaining an INMETRO certificate is a five-step process which involves a comprehensive assessment of your product’s performance. To ensure that the product certification is properly maintained, mandatory annual audits must also be conducted. Additionally, a recertification is necessary.

  1. Product safety testing performed by TÜV SÜD, an independent third-party organisation.
  2. Factory inspection and assessment to ensure compliance of the manufacturer’s production process.
  3. Technical analysis of technical documentation.
  4. On ascertaining proof of compliance, we issue a certificate as well as authorisation for the use of INMETRO’s Compliance Identification Seal.
  5. Regular certification maintenance is conducted, including tests and factory surveillance.
