As of October 2020, TUV Rheinland has been granted a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) for NOM-001-SCFI-2018 (safety testing) by Mexico’s Direccion General de Normas (DGN). NOM-001-SCFI-2018 is required for products like AV equipment, electronics, household appliances, power supplies, information technology equipment, and other similar equipment.

For any manufacturer wishing to export goods to Mexico, the NOM Mark is mandatory to enter the Mexican market. This MRA is extended to all other TUV Rheinland laboratories worldwide, including Japan, China, Taiwan and North America. This means testing can be done locally, where it is more convenient for the manufacturer. The MRA will allow IEC reports from TUV Rheinland global offices to be accepted for NOM-001-SCFI-2018 certification, saving significant time and cost to get products to market.

The MRA will be utilized to validate and certify the following standards using IEC reports from TUV Rheinland global offices for NOM certification:
 

• IEC 60065:2014 - Audio, Video and Similar Electronic Apparatus - Safety Requirements
• IEC 60335-1:2014 - Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements
• IEC 62040-1:2013 - Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) - Part 1: General and Safety Requirements for UPS
• IEC 60950-1:2015 - Information Technology Equipment - Safety - Part 1: General Requirements
• IEC 62368-1:2018 - Audio/Video (AV), Information and Communication Technology Equipment (ITE) - Safety Requirements
• IEC 62115:2.0 - Electronic Toys Safety

On August 12, 2020, all international Certification Bodies were notified that the draft Equivalency Agreement (EA) for NOM-001-SCFI-2018 will not be published into law until a reciprocity agreement clause is accepted by all North American governments in compliance with the July 1, 2020 Quality Infrastructure Law. Since the old agreement will no longer be valid, customers can leverage this MRA to access the Mexican Market.
