Brazil is the largest country in South America and also one of the BRICS countries. Therefore, more and more countries are paying attention to the Brazilian market, and China has become Brazil's largest source of electrical and electronic products. So, how should electronic and electrical products enter the Brazilian market? ——It is necessary to obtain INMETRO certification from the Brazilian National Institute of Metrology and Industrial Quality (INMETRO: the Brazilian agency responsible for electronic and electrical product safety certification).
Product certification method
INMETRO certification is divided into mandatory and voluntary types. Products that require mandatory certification must bear the mandatory INMETRO logo and the logo of a third-party organization recognized by INMETRO after passing the certification before entering the Brazilian market. At first, the certification did not include household appliance products, but as the import volume of household appliances increased, in late 2009 and early 2010, the Brazilian government issued a new notice stipulating the addition of various household appliance products to the mandatory certification catalog, including hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, electric blankets, water heaters, range hoods, dryers, etc. Starting from July 2012, all products listed in the catalog entering the Brazilian market are required to undergo mandatory INMETRO certification. The application process for voluntary certification is slightly different from that for mandatory certification, as it does not require on-site inspection and is more convenient and flexible. Voluntary certification can be applied for after completing testing at an INMETRO accredited laboratory without prior application.
■ Low voltage electrical devices, consumer electronics (audio and video products), information technology equipment, and lighting fixtures (excluding fluorescent lamps), etc.
Certification testing process
Mandatory products can use the INMETRO logo after obtaining the INMETRO Brazil certification and INMETRO certificate. The logo must be printed directly on the product packaging or label along with the issuing authority.
Partial product certification requirements
