NOM

All electrical products imported into Mexico must meet NOM requirements. In-country testing is required and there is the need to involve a Certification Body. a Local representative/importer is required and the typical lead time to obtain the NOM Certification is 8 weeks and is valid for 3 years.

NOM Label Requirements:

The NOM label can be printed directly on the product or affixed to it. There is no required size or format for the labeling information as long as it is legible and contains all of the required information (manufacturer's name, importer's name, description of its components, risk warning (if applicable), etc.)

In particular, Mexico is strict about how labels should display AC and DC voltages. There are three acceptable options for either alternating current or direct current:

Alternating Current – to be displayed as Vca or Vc.a. or V~

Direct Current – to be displayed as Vcc or Vc.c. or V⎓

As part of the certification process, the Mexican regulatory body will review either tjhe final or a draft of it to ensure it meets minimum requirements
