The school supplies will win seal of approval from the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (Inmetro). The regulations will occur by the end of September, but the measure does not come into force in 2011.

According to the manager of the Office of Compliance, Gustavo Kuster, the measure will be taken due to the large number of links in the last year, parents concerned about the safety of school supplies for children, such as rubber with aromas that can cause toxic damage to
children's health, pointing sharp blade and sharp edges of school rules.

According to Gustavo Kuster, it is expected that products with seal of Inmetro begin to be sold in October 2011 - already counting on the twelve-month period for the industry suits.
From the dates laid down in regulation, a product that does not have the seal of the institute, will be withdrawn.

Inmetro did a risk analysis of the many scholarly articles in order to check those who actually provide risk to children. According to Gustavo Kuster, the twelve product groups students will go through at least two test groups: the chemical tests seek to verify the toxicity of the test article and the physical and mechanical, which aims to determine the constructive aspects of
product if they have some kind of risk to children.

"Especially at the beginning of the review, the non-compliant products will be seized and the manufacturer and the retailer reported.
In case of recidivism, then yes, the application starts fine and that value is gradual, from the moment that the recidivism are happening, "he said.

He added that all products marketed in the country, domestic or imported, will have to meet this rule.
