SGS publishes SafeGuardS looking at Brazil’s amendment to its ordinance on metal cookware. |
|
SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 168.23 covering Brazil’s amendment to its metal cookware ordinance.
The Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services and National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology issued an amendment to Ordinance 499/2021 on December 1, 2023. The ‘note’ under Sections 4.1.1.2 and 4.2.1.1 in Annex I are both updated, clarifying that:
• Ordinance 499/2021 is not limited to the metal materials specified in these sections
• Metal materials not specified in the ordinance must meet their respective technical standards and migration element requirements according to the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency
Ordinance 499/2021 covers the technical regulations and conformity assessment requirements for metal cookware and includes provisions relating to, inter alia:
• Product scope
• Certification model options
• Specifications for conformity identification seals
• List of rules and standards for demonstrating compliance
SGS publishes SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory and market changes that may impact their business. For more information, stakeholders are advised to review SGS’s original SafeGuardS 168.23.
These changes should be considered effective on December 1, 2023.
