The normas oficiales Mexico mark is a mandatory safety mark in Mexico, which indicates that the product conforms to the relevant NOM standards. The NOM logo is applicable to most products, including telecommunication and information technology equipment, household electrical appliances, lamps and other products with potential risks to health and safety. Whether the products are manufactured locally or imported from Mexico, they must comply with the relevant NOM standards and product labeling regulations.

If the product meets the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, a certificate shall be issued to the Mexican representative of the manufacturer or exporter, and the product can be marked with NOM mark.

Safety test of NOM certification process for many products
There are two verification units in Mexico that can issue NOM marks
-NOM Nyce: the scope of verification includes all electronic and information products and data processing equipment, excluding household appliances (excluding microwave ovens)
-NOM ance: the scope of verification includes all electrical appliances and similar products (such as home appliances)
Not applicable to IEC standard, applicable to NOM standard
No EMC testing required
1. NOM mandatory sign
Mexico only recognizes its own NOM safety signs (as shown in Figure 1), while the safety signs of the United States and Canada (such as cul, ETL, CSA) are not recognized by the government. Products requiring compulsory certification are only allowed to enter the Mexican market with the NOM safety mark.
In general, the NOM logo often appears together with Nyce or ance:
——NOM Nyce: applicable to electronic products, communication products and data processing equipment, but excluding household appliances;
——NOM ance: applicable to household electrical appliances, including household electric instruments, electric hand tools, etc.
1. The voltage in Mexico is 127V / 60Hz
2. The plug is the same as the American plug. One is classi with three connectors, the other is ClassII with two connectors. The plug will be tested with the device itself.
The certificate is valid for one year and can be renewed every year
When renewing the certificate, a product should be randomly sampled from the market in advance so that it can be sent to the laboratory for testing
The product package shall include the following information: product name, brand name, model and NOM verification mark
The products of NOM compulsory certification are generally electronic and electrical products with voltage over 24 V AC or DC. It is mainly used in the fields of product safety, energy and thermal effect, installation, health and agriculture. The following products must be certified by NOM to enter the Mexican market:
——Electronic or electrical products for home, office and factory use;
——Computer local area network (LAN) equipment;
——Lighting devices;
——Tyres, toys and school supplies;
——Medical equipment;
——Wired and wireless communication products, such as wired telephone, wireless telephone, etc;
——Products driven by electricity, propane, natural gas or batteries.
NOM voluntary certification is generally applicable to parts, such as conductors, fuses, lamp holders and ballasts, for the reference of manufacturers and importers.

Among them, the most commonly used authentication mode is M1. In this certification mode, all tests are carried out every year. The NOM certificate shall be issued after passing the test. NOM certificates are usually valid for one year, after which periodic testing is required. However, if the certification procedure includes inspection of the quality system, the certificate is valid for 3 years.
Certificate holders are usually independent importers, manufacturers and distributors. Foreign manufacturers can apply for certificates through certification bodies recognized by the Mexican Standardization Commission.
