What is nom certification in Mexico?

The NOM (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas) mark is Mexico's mandatory safety mark, indicating that a product complies with the relevant NOM standards. The NOM mark applies to most products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, and other products that pose potential health and safety risks. Whether manufactured locally in Mexico or imported, products must comply with the relevant NOM standards and labeling regulations.

Who Can and Must Apply for NOM Certification?

According to Mexican law, the holder of the nom certificate must be a Mexican company responsible for the product's quality, maintenance, and reliability. Test reports are issued by SECOFI-recognized laboratories and reviewed by SECOFI, ANCE, or NYCE. If the product meets regulatory requirements, a certificate is issued to the manufacturer's or exporter's Mexican representative, allowing the product to bear the NOM mark.

 

NOM Certification Standards

Generally confirmed based on the product's HS Code:

- IT products & data transmission equipment: NOM-019-SCDI

- Electrical and lighting products: NOM-003-SCFI-2000

- Electronic products: NOM-001-SCFI

- Household appliances: NOM-003-SCFI

- Office electronics: NOM-016-SCFI

- Wireless and communication products: NOM-EM-016-SCFI

NOM Certification Documentation Preparation

1. Application form

2. Agency statement

3. Registration documents of the local importer or distributor

4. User manual in Spanish (including quality assurance)

5. Technical documents (schematics, PCB layout, component list, label)

6. Product's Mexican HS Code

 

How to Obtain NOM Certification?

1. Directly contact JJRLAB for services;

2. Provide at least two samples to the local testing agency in Mexico that works directly with JJRLAB for testing;

3. Provide product documentation (Spanish labels, Spanish user manual, technical documents (circuit diagram, assembly diagram, component list), registration documents of the local importer or distributor, etc.);

4. Pass the test and receive the certificate;

5. The manufacturer or exporter can then mark the product with the NOM mark.

 

NOM Certification Validity

One year

 

NOM Certification Considerations

1. The voltage in Mexico is 127VAC/60Hz.

2. Plugs are the same as U.S. plugs: Class I with three prongs and Class II with two prongs. The plug will be tested along with the device.

3. Certificates are valid for one year and can be renewed annually. When renewing the certificate, a product sample must be randomly selected from the market for testing in the laboratory.

4. Product packaging must include the following: the name and address of the importer or distributor, NOM mark, country of origin information, rated input/output values, product name and model, and packaging quantity.
