Brazil certification is divided into INMETRO and ANATEL certification
1.INMETRO certification
INMETRO is Brazil's National Accreditation Body ( Acreditation Body ) and is responsible for the formulation of Brazilian national standards. Most of Brazil's product standards are based on IEC and ISO standards. Manufacturers who need to export products to Brazil should refer to these two standards when designing their products. All products that meet Brazilian standards and other technical requirements must be added with the mandatory INMETRO logo and the logo of an accredited third-party certification body in order to enter the Brazilian market.
