What is the Mexican NOM certification?

Mexico NOM certification refers to a certification that complies with the Mexican Official Standards (Norma Oficial Mexicana, abbreviated as NOM). NOM standards are a series of mandatory technical regulations established by the Mexican government, aimed at ensuring that products, services, and activities meet Mexico's safety, health, quality, and environmental protection requirements. NOM certification applies to various product categories, including electrical equipment, electronic products, toys, automobiles, food, textiles, building materials, etc. For these products, manufacturers and importers must ensure that they meet the relevant NOM standards before entering the Mexican market for sale. Obtaining NOM certification usually requires a series of tests and evaluations to prove that the products comply with the relevant NOM standards. These tests are usually conducted by certification bodies or laboratories authorized by the Mexican government. Certified products will be awarded the NOM mark, which is usually labeled on the product or its packaging. For companies wishing to sell products in the Mexican market, NOM certification is an important market access condition.
