Don't forget NAFTA-related issues (especially in the "DJT Wall" context!) as Mexico probably cannot afford to be "too liberal" in what it can accept with the minimum of "bureaucratic rules" whilst still trying to protect its in-house labs & certification bodies as far as it legally can!

There are nearly 200 committees, so it does take a long time to catch up with the countries that have been members since 1910, even if we consider only EMC and safety.

They are working to come into the 21st century but will, in the end, require national NOM certification even if it is to the EN/IEC requirements; they have allowed some simpler paths in the past but these seem to be phasing out and replaced by NOM. Unfortunately, the NOM certification is only a 1 year certification and it has to be renewed each year (maybe even retesting); presumably this is in lieu of factory follow-up to maintain the certification. Further, if your product has a radio (wireless, Bluetooth, etc) it requires Mexican testing, approvals and registration. >From what I see, every (developing) country wants to get into the cert & registration game. This has all been made easier by the development of IEC standards which are being harmonized for the major markets and all are easily adopted by additional countries (very little requirements development cost, all borne by the big boys in the IEC committees). However, in order to have some control it is straightforward to develop a bureaucracy to administer local certification and registration to use their mark. If the country doesn't have local qualified folks to deal with this, just implement internal test houses for safety , EMC and everything else then require that all product be tested in country to get their mark (until the lab staff is fully qualified) after which MRAs can be developed to accept outside work to get local acceptance. The power supply for your laptop shows the path that everything is on. :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety & Regulatory Affairs Consultant PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 IEEE Life Fellow p.perk...@ieee.org From: Koester, Helmut <mailto:h.koes...@psi-laser.de> <h.koes...@psi-laser.de> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 4:53 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Mexico compliance approval for IT equipment Hello group, does anybody know if it there is any way to bring IT Equipment into the Mexican market without NOM certificate only based on CE marking and CE test documentation?
