NOM certification

NOM certification

The NOM (Normas Oficiales Mexico) symbol is a mandatory safety symbol in Mexico, used to indicate that the product complies with relevant NOM standards. The NOM logo is applicable to most products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, and other products with potential health and safety hazards. Whether manufactured locally in Mexico or imported, products must comply with relevant NOM standards and product labeling regulations.

According to Mexican law, the licensee of NOM must be a Mexican company responsible for the quality, maintenance, and reliability of the product. The test report is issued by a laboratory recognized by SECOFI and reviewed by SECOFI, ANCE, or NYCE. If the product meets relevant regulatory requirements, a certificate is issued to the Mexican representative of the manufacturer or exporter in order for the product to bear the NOM mark.

The difference between NOM flag and NMX flag

Firstly, different procedures are required

The NOM (Normas Oficiales Mexico) symbol is a mandatory safety symbol in Mexico, used to indicate that the product complies with relevant NOM standards. The NMX (Normas Mexico) standard is voluntary.

Secondly, the corresponding products are different

The NOM logo is applicable to most products, including telecommunications and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, and other products with potential health and safety hazards. Whether manufactured locally in Mexico or imported, products must comply with relevant NOM standards and product labeling regulations. NMX is generally suitable for parts such as conductors, fuses, circuit breakers, lamp holders, and ballasts, for manufacturers to use as a reference; But when an NMX requirement becomes a reference to the NOM standard, it becomes a mandatory standard.
