On February 16, 2022, the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO) of Brazil promulgated ORDINANCE No. 69, which replaces the original regulations 389/2014 and 143/2015. This regulation stipulates that all LED light source products entering the Brazilian market are required to pass the INMETRO certification and be registered. Both manufacturers and importers need to obtain INMETRO certification and register the LED light source products they sell in the Brazilian market.

Brazil is the largest country in South America and one of the BRICS countries. Therefore, an increasing number of countries are paying attention to the Brazilian market. Currently, China has become the largest source of electrical and electronic products for Brazil. So, how can electrical and electronic products enter the Brazilian market? They need to obtain INMETRO certification from the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO: the Brazilian authority responsible for the safety certification of electrical and electronic products). 

Chile conducts regulatory certification for the following products, including: Electrical and Fuel (SEC), Medical Supplies (ISP), Sanitary Engineering and Facility Materials (SISS), Personal Protective Components (ISP), Fire Extinguishers - Technical Services of Fire Extinguishers (MINECON), and Building Materials (MINVU).

In November 2005, SEC promulgated Certification Regulation No. No298:2005, aiming to establish rules for household appliances and similar products. Household appliance products are included in the scope of SEC mandatory certification. Products within the scope of mandatory certification must obtain a conformity certification code issued by a certification body authorized by the regulatory agency of the Chilean government before they can be sold in the market.

In today’s global market, most electrical and electronic products are required to meet various product safety standards and industry requirements. Under such circumstances, exported products must pass certain mandatory inspections before they can enter the market of that country for sale. At the same time, effective inspections and certifications of products can also serve as a powerful marketing tool to help build the confidence of traders, retailers and end consumers in the products.

With the rapid integration of the European union and the continuous growth of the World Trade Organization, more and more countries are advocating the establishment of a quality compliance certification program based on mutual recognition agreements and have already started to take action. As a CB laboratory (CBTL) authorized and recognized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IECEE) of the United Nations, STU Hengchuang Testing can provide relevant testing services in accordance with the procedures of the CB system. With a CB test report issued by a CB testing laboratory and a CB certificate issued by the corresponding national certification body, you only need to submit your CB certificate and test report to the national certification body of the country or region that has joined the CB system for filing, and you can obtain safety certifications for your products in multiple countries without the need for additional testing.
