Electronic Products Certification

The process is relatively straightforward. First, a complete list of the products intended for importation should be compiled along with the product’s technical data sheet, user manuals and basic documentation. MexInc’s accredited laboratory will analyze the above information to determine what Mexican NOMs apply to the product – which will vary depending on the product’s functions and capabilities. The more functionality that a product has, the more likely that the number of tests required will be greater.

Two to three samples of the products will need to be shipped physically to our accredited laboratory in Mexico. Spanish language and Mexico compliant user manuals and packaging will be prepared. Testing will then begin on the products. MexInc handles the shipping, importation, and delivery of the product samples. Additional MexInc provides assistance with translations and preparation of the Mexico compliant labels and user manuals.

As long as the products are technically similar, the products can be combined by model number, sub-model number, color and size, in most cases. Once the testing has been completed, the laboratory issues conformity certificates and the electronic products can be legally imported into Mexico. The process is not very difficult overall. Usually compliance certificates and laboratory testing are completed within two to four weeks.
