Compulsory Certification & Foreign Markets

Products under compulsory certification need a certification body before they reach the market. We handle the interface with those bodies (those accredited by INMETRO, those designated by ANATEL and those of other mandatory certifications) and help build the technical documents.

Common questions before you start.

Does medical equipment need INMETRO certification before registration?

Equipment under the health surveillance regime is subject to compulsory certification by a certification body accredited by INMETRO and established in Brazil. The certificate is submitted to ANVISA and must be kept up to date throughout the validity of the registration or notification.

What is an OCP?

A product certification body: an entity accredited by INMETRO that assesses the product’s conformity with the applicable technical standards, performs or coordinates testing and issues the certificate. We handle the interface between the manufacturer and the OCP, from documentation to testing.

Do you support exports to other markets?

Yes. We prepare the technical and regulatory documents a Brazilian product needs for other markets, such as the notification or registration certificate for medical devices, and handle the interface with the certification bodies required at the destination.
