Certification background

INMETRO is Brazil’s national accreditation body (Accreditation Body), responsible for the formulation of Brazilian national standards. Most Brazilian product standards are based on IEC and ISO standards. Manufacturers who need to export their products to Brazil should refer to these two standards when designing their products. All products that meet the Brazilian standards and other technical requirements must be marked with the mandatory INMETRO mark and the mark of an accredited third-party certification body before they can enter the Brazilian market.

Product range

The application of the INMETRO mark can be divided into two categories, namely mandatory category and voluntary category. These two categories are issued by certification bodies (CB). In addition, the Brazilian government also stipulates that some products need to carry energy efficiency labels (smiley face labels), such certificates are directly issued by INMETRO, and certification bodies are not involved.
