Many electrical and electronic products in Mexico must comply with Normas Oficiales Mexicanas (NOM) standards. The NOM Mark is checked for on these products at the Mexican border by Mexican Customs Authorities. The NOM Mark is valid for one year and is issued in the name of the Mexican importer of record, the Mexican manufacturer or the Mexican distributor of the product.
Mexican national standards are used with some harmonisation to international standards.
The following three NOM standards are most important: NOM-001-SCFI-1993 (Electronic equipment for domestic use with Input from different electrical power sources - Safety requirements and testing procedures for class approval) based on IEC65-1985 as amended 1987; NOM-003-SCFI-2000 (Electrical products, safety specifications), used in conjunction with NMX-J-521/1-ANCE-1999 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances, part 1), based on IEC60335-1-1991-04; and NMX-J-524/1-ANCE-2000 (Safety of handheld motor-operated tools, part 1), based on IEC60745-1-1997-02; NOM-016-SCFI-1993 (Electronic equipment for use in office and operated by different electrical power sources - safety requirements and testing procedures for class approval), based on IEC335-1976, and; NOM-019-SCFI-1998 (Data-processing equipment), based on UL478, fourth edition.
Products tested and found to be in compliance with these standards can be accepted for applying the NOM test mark, enabling access to the Mexican market.
TUV can assist with this assessment through its agreement with Canieti, an accredited Mexican test lab which allows TUV's in-house test data to be accepted for NOM certification without shipment of samples to Mexico.
Certification is then carried out by either NYCE or ANCE, accredited conformity assessment bodies, with TUV managing each step of the process. Request a free brochure from TUV Rheinland Group UK....
