Brazil: New Low Volume regulation for vehicle parts

 

The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology – INMETRO, has published Ordinance No. 110 which approves the Conformity Assessment Requirements for Low Import and Production Volume Automotive Components.

The Regulation applies to automotive components covered by other Inmetro Ordinances in force for:

I – Automotive Components;

II – Automotive Components for Motorcycles, Scooters, Mopeds, Tricycles and Quadricycles;

III – Automotive Wheels; and

IV – Automotive Safety Glass.

Low volume is understood to mean original factory replacement automotive components.  The low volume automotive components object of this Regulation may only be marketed, directly to the final consumer, by national or foreign automakers, or through their representatives or official importers, in their respective authorized dealerships.

Low volume parts can be imported to Brazil through the Supplier Declaration of Conformity mechanism.  Nevertheless, they require an INMETRO marking (as defined in Annex II of the Regulation).

The ordinance defines the maximum number per component model per year as well as the maximum quantity per component per year.  The numbers are as follows:
