NOM Certification Introduction
 

The Normas Oficiales Mexicanas (NOM) mark is a mandatory safety mark in Mexico to indicate that a product complies with the relevant NOM standard. The NOM mark applies to a wide range of products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lamps and other products with potential health and safety hazards. Both locally manufactured and imported products in Mexico must comply with the relevant NOM standards and product labeling requirements.

 

Under Mexican law, NOM's licensee must be a Mexican company responsible for the quality, maintenance and reliability of the product. The test report is issued by a Secofi-accredited laboratory, reviewed by SECOFI,ANCE or NYCE, and if the product complies with the relevant regulatory requirements, a certificate is issued to the Mexican representative of the manufacturer or exporter before the product can bear the NOM mark.
