  1. MARKET SURVEILLANCE ON CONFORMITY ASSESSED PRODUCTS The Brazilian Experience Bratislava, 10-14 October Luiz Cláudio de Oliveira Pereira National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality Inmetro - Brazil

  2. Market Surveillance on Conformity Assessed Products Conformity Assessment Mechanisms used in the Brazilian System of Conformity Assessment - SBAC: • Certification • Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity • Labeling • Testing • Inspection

  3. Market Surveillance on Conformity Assessed Products In Brazil, there are two ways to follow up compulsorily conformity assessed products in the market and they both are run by INMETRO: • Inspection (based on the package information checking) • Conformity Checking (based on the product intrinsical analysis)

  4. Market Surveillance on Conformity Assessed Products • Inspection: RBMLQ

  5. Market Surveillance on Conformity Assessed Products • Conformity Checking: Definition: It is the verification of the permanence of the conformity of a product to the specified requirements, with the intention of proving the effectiveness of the Conformity Assessment Program, as well as the continuous improvement of the Program, with less costs to the society.

  6. Market Surveillance on Conformity Assessed Products • Conformity Checking: It means to periodically collect samples of conformity assessed products available in the place of their sale in order to verify whether they maintain the characteristics based upon which they were granted a license to bear the conformity mark. The follow-up on the market, by means of this action, bears a preventive character.

  7. Conformity Checking Annual Plan Market Survey by INMETRO RBMLQ collects the products INMETRO consolidates the results SBAC agents meeting (INMETRO, RBMLQ, RBLE, Certification Bodies, Manufacturers) RBLE assays the products Conformity Checking Stages: INMETRO defines the improvement or corrective actions within SBAC System Feedback
