The product will be a compulsory license by the Federal Supervisory
The National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (Inmetro) is developing a certification program to make compulsory infant cribs safer. The certification will result in the obligation of the guarantee stamp on all cribs and allow direct monitoring on the market.
The court decided to make the product after a test conducted in late 2007, he failed all the cribs available in the Brazilian market. "At that time, 11 brands were tested and 100% of the samples had some type of problem. We therefore included the cradle in the list of products that require compulsory certification, "says Rivera, deputy head of the division of conformity of Inmetro.
The intention is to ensure greater security for consumers and fairer competition, since all the cribs available in the market, will take compulsory, the criteria of minimum security. The measure is supported by the Brazilian Association of Children's Products (Abrapur), which has also manufacturers of cribs. "We are absolutely in favor of compulsory certification for cribs and want to participate in the program," says Sinésio Batista da Costa, president of the organization.
According to the schedule of Quality Control, the program must be placed on public consultation (from 30 to 60 days) in the first quarter of 2010. "Today we are introducing the technical committee that will make this regulation: laboratories, technicians, associations, and various sectors of Inmetro," says Rocha.
Thus, the expectation is that early in the 2nd half of 2010, the regulation is published. "After publication, these companies would be able to make the product and the label would have cots available for those approved," said Richards who warns that the seal does take a while to be mandatory. "The manufacturers would have a further period of 1 or 2 years to fit," he added.
While the regulation and seal are still being developed, the consumer must pay attention to other details when choosing the baby's crib. "In addition to avoid buying crib low, it is important to avoid having nails too far apart. The child may try to pass in the middle and get hurt. This is a basic care, "says Sinésio Batista da Costa.
