RIO - Consumers have until March 20 to submit suggestions and contributions to INMETRO Regulations for spring mattresses . The institute prepares rules for manufacturing to improve product quality which comes to the house of Brazilians. The mattresses must meet the requirements as not presenting deformations and cavities , cracks in the coating or broken springs , explains the researcher at the institute , Cristiane Sampaio . All suggestions will be evaluated and may be incorporated into the regulation , set to be published in June this year .

- Since 2011, when the regulation came into force for foam mattresses , we noticed that many manufacturers have migrated to the production of spring mattresses , fleeing from the standards . The consumer can not pay for it . So we decided to start the implementation of the Regulation also for these products - Cristiane explains .
The researcher says that with the new rules , the mattresses will go through tests that simulate product use by humans :
- Thus , we get close to the impacts of actual use .
Since the publication of the rules , manufacturers , importers and traders will have deadlines for compliance .
Anyone who wants to participate in the public consultation should access the documents with the proposed standards through links http://www.inmetro.gov.br/legislacao/rtac/pdf/RTAC002070.pdf and http://www.inmetro.gov .br/legislacao/rtac/pdf/RTAC002071.pdf .
