Why choose a certification Accredited by Inmetro?

A certification accredited by Inmetro (National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology) is a certification that has been issued by a certifying entity that has been recognized by Inmetro as being able to carry out conformity assessments impartially and independently. This means that the certification body has the necessary technical and administrative requirements to carry out conformity assessments in a consistent and reliable manner, and that its work is supervised by Inmetro.

There are several reasons why a person or company might choose a certification accredited by Inmetro:

Reliability: A certification accredited by Inmetro is considered more reliable than a certification issued by a non-accredited entity, as it was issued by an entity that has been evaluated and recognized by Inmetro as being capable of carrying out conformity assessments in an impartial and independent manner.
Recognition: Inmetro is a federal autarchy recognized internationally as an authority in metrology, quality and innovation. Therefore, a certification accredited by Inmetro is recognized and respected by other entities and institutions in Brazil and worldwide.
Credibility: Certification accredited by Inmetro can increase the public’s credibility and confidence in relation to the certified product or service, as it demonstrates that it meets the quality and safety standards required by Inmetro.
Competitiveness: The certification accredited by Inmetro can increase the competitiveness of a company, as it can help it stand out in an increasingly demanding and competitive market.
Legal requirements: In some cases, certification accredited by Inmetro may be required by law for a product or service to be marketed in Brazil. Therefore, choosing a certification accredited by Inmetro can be a way to comply with applicable legal requirements.
