Postponement of NOM-001-2018 Enforcement

On May 12th, 2020, the Secretary of Economy (CCONNSE) announced the postponement of the enforcement of NOM-001-2018 until August 14th, 2020. The enforcement had previously been scheduled to start on May 14th, 2020.

This regulatory change will significantly affect the testing requirements for several products as Mexico aligns its safety testing standards with international guidelines.

This delay provides Laboratories and Certifying Bodies with the necessary time to gain accreditation, as there is currently a limited number of labs and certifying bodies authorized to issue Certificates for this new NOM. This potential imbalance could lead to serious delays in compliance with the new NOM-001-SCFI-2018.

Manufacturers will be allowed to import products using NOM-001-SCFI-1993 until August 14, 2020, and any Certificate of Conformity issued will still be accepted until its expiration date.
