Agency will also certify blocks, tiles, porcelain tiles and paints, among others
The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO) will expand the list of products certified building materials such as blocks, tiles, porcelain tiles, sanitary materials and paints, among others.
The items will be evaluated by requirements such as size, composition, and water absorption resistance. The certification will be preferably voluntary. Today, steel bars and wires, plugs and sockets, cables and electrical wires and circuit breakers are already required to receive the seal INMETRO.
For products that offer risk to health or safety or the INMETRO has identified market problems, with price advantage because of poor quality, the certification is mandatory. It is the case of sanitary products segment, like faucets, mixers, siphons and records.
The measure, however, there is no consensus among Brazilian producers, as other entities have spoken against mandatory.
The expectation is that the entrance to the new rules leave between late this year and early 2014. From this publication, there is an adjustment period for manufacturers, importers and retailers.
