The development trend of the NOM certification and standard of LED lighting products in Mexico
In recent years, Mexico has begun to pay attention to the green energy industry and actively develop green energy to make it an important emerging industry.Since September 1, 2011, the Mexican government has announced plans to implement the lighting energy conservation program in the country.Mexico plans to phase out incandescent light bulbs by 2014.Mexico is a big energy consumer and its LED lighting market is huge.
For LED lighting products, the NOM certification for safety and energy efficiency is a mandatory requirement for its entry into the Mexican market. At present, NOM does not provide corresponding requirements for electromagnetic compatibility.All products manufactured or imported in Mexico must comply with the relevant NOM standard and product labelling requirements.
The safety requirements for LED lighting in Mexico are mainly prescribed by the NOM -003-scfi-2000 standard.Involving electrical product safety requirements, this standard is a framework of norms, and not the specific technical requirements, must through the NMX - J - 521/1 - ANCE - 2005 standard test, and the standard is mainly based on IEC 60335-1: the safety of household and similar electrical + Mexico deviation.At the same time, LED lighting products must meet the consumption information required by NOM- 024-scfy-1998.
To meet the requirements of the country's energy efficiency for lighting products, LED lighting products to enter the Mexican market must pass the Mexican mandatory energy efficiency certification. The certification by the authorized organization in Mexico (EMA) approved certification body concrete implementation, is a part of Mexico mandatory product certification.Products belonging to mandatory energy efficiency certification can be sold in Mexico only after being certified and affixed with energy efficiency labels that reflect the product's use.
In 2012, the department of energy released two energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products, focusing on the energy efficiency specifications and testing methods of LED light bulbs and outdoor lighting.
In the case of LED lighting products, only if the safety and mandatory energy efficiency requirements of LED lighting products are met, the NOM certification can be obtained and enter the Mexican market.
