Transition of Battery Labeling Compliance from Federal District to Mexico City

Published /Mexico

Transition of Administrative Center

Due to the Constitutional reform, the administrative center of the country became Mexico City, leaving the Federal District (DF). This decision resulted in a series of legal provisions transitioning from DF to Mexico City.

Change in Labeling Certificates

For this reason, as of June 2017, the entity responsible for issuing certificates of conformity for the labeling of batteries by internal regulation has decided not to issue further acknowledgments to labels with the Federal District, in order to avoid observations and questioning by the Authority.
