Certification introduction

The NOM mark is a mandatory safety mark in Mexico to indicate that the product complies with the relevant NOM standards. The NOM mark applies to most products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lamps and other products that are potentially hazardous to health and safety. Regardless of whether the products are locally manufactured or imported in Mexico, they must comply with the relevant NOM standards and product labeling requirements.

The Normas Oficiales Mexicanas logo is a mandatory safety mark of Mexico, used to indicate that products comply with relevant NOM standards. The NOM mark applies to most products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lamps and other products that are potentially hazardous to health and safety. Regardless of whether the products are locally manufactured or imported in Mexico, they must comply with the relevant NOM standards and product labeling requirements.

According to Mexican law, the NOM licensee must be a Mexican company, responsible for the quality, maintenance and reliability of the product. The test report is issued by a laboratory recognized by SECOFI and reviewed by SECOFI, ANCE or NYCE. If the product meets the requirements of relevant regulations, a certificate will be issued to the Mexican representative of the manufacturer or exporter before the product can bear the NOM mark.

Mexico only recognizes its own NOM safety signs, and the safety signs of the United States and Canada (such as CUL, ETL, CSA) are not recognized by the government. Products that require mandatory certification can only enter the Mexican market if they are accompanied by the NOM safety mark.

Usually, the NOM logo often appears with NYCE or ANCE:

——NOM NYCE: applicable to electronic products, communication products and data processing equipment, but does not include household appliances;

——NOM ANCE: Applicable to home appliances, including household electric instruments, electric hand tools, etc.
