Inmetro

governance & risknetworking

Brazil's national metrology, quality and technology institute, responsible for measurement standards and conformity assessment.

Matters to networking more than it looks, because conformity assessment is what decides whether equipment may legally be sold and installed in Brazil. A product that is standard elsewhere can require local certification here, which is one of several reasons why what is practical to buy differs by country - a point the distributor entries on this site make from the commercial side.

Also known as: instituto nacional de metrologia, metrologia qualidade e tecnologia
