Published /Mexico

Important Updates on NOM-003-SCFI-2014

The Secretaría de Economía (SE) of Mexico has made important revisions to the surveillance procedure for NOM-003-SCFI-2014, a key regulation related to product certification. These changes impact the renewal process of certificates under Esquema 9.6.1 of Oficio No. DGN.312.01.2018.1561.

Previously, this certification scheme required only one follow-up visit for renewals. However, as of August 16th, 2023, Esquema 9.6.1 is no longer in effect. The new requirements stipulate that two follow-up visits for testing are necessary when renewing certificates under NOM-003-SCFI-2014.

This update is significant for manufacturers and businesses in Mexico as it increases the local costs associated with product certification and renewal. Compliance with these revised regulations is essential to continue selling certified products in the Mexican market. The SE's decision to implement these changes reflects the country's commitment to maintaining rigorous standards for product quality and safety.
