What the INMETRO Certification covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for Brazil.
Conformity assessment with the INMETRO mark for products under compulsory certification programmes (appliances, electronics, cables, plugs and sockets), plus energy labelling where applicable.
Market context: A local representative is required, and most programmes involve factory inspection.
For the product categories it covers, yes - the INMETRO Certification is required before products can legally be placed on the Brazil market. Shipping without it can mean customs holds, marketplace delisting and retailer rejections.
The INMETRO Certification is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - EMC & Safety Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the INMETRO Certification application is built on.

Lead time depends on the product, the standard behind the INMETRO Certification and whether factory inspection is part of the route. You get a concrete timeline together with your quotation - we reply within 2 working hours.
Typically: product specification, user manual, schematic or block diagram, critical component list and 1-2 working samples. We confirm the exact list for your product along with the quotation.
It depends on the scheme - some marks are valid continuously with periodic surveillance, others need renewal or an annual factory inspection. We track the applicable maintenance cycle for you as part of the project.
