SGS Offers the Updated Brazilian INMETRO Certification for White Goods
The updated requirements of Brazil's consumer product safety regulation will gradually enter into force from July 2011.
São Paulo, Brazil, September 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Decree 371, issued December 29, 2009 requires all household appliances to be included on the list of products that need mandatory certification by Brazilian Government accredited bodies.
The decree will gradually come into force, in three stages, starting with 1 July, 2011. From this date, white goods need to be tested against the technical standards set out by Decree 371. All products that pass testing successfully will need to display the compulsory INMETRO mark. Companies are also required to comply with prescribed maintenance conditions by having a Customer Complaint Service in operation. Regular assessment of manufacturers will take place, to ensure compliance to these requirements.
