The creation of the National Metrology, Quality and Technology Agency ANMETRO is under discussion and represents a significant evolution in regulatory and inspection structures in Brazil. ANMETRO intends to modernize and improve metrology, conformity assessment and certification activities, areas essential for the safety and quality of products sold in the country.
This proposal is a direct response to the challenges faced by Brazil in relation to currency evasion and the illegal product market. According to a recent survey, around 25% of cell phones sold in Brazil are irregular, which not only represents a risk to consumer safety, but also negatively impacts the formal economy. The new agency seeks to mitigate these problems through stricter oversight and the implementation of higher quality standards.
ANMETRO is also committed to harmonizing national standards with international standards, facilitating foreign trade and increasing the competitiveness of Brazilian companies. The agency will work closely with other regulatory and government entities to ensure that compliance practices are strictly followed, promoting a more transparent and secure business environment.
In addition to combating currency evasion and the illegal market, ANMETRO will promote technological innovation and continuous improvement in the quality of products and services. This effort is essential to strengthen consumer confidence and ensure that products available on the Brazilian market are safe and of high quality.
The creation of ANMETRO represents a significant opportunity for Brazil to advance its sustainable economic development agenda and the protection of consumer rights. PCN Latin America is aligned with these objectives and will continue to support the implementation of compliance and quality practices across all sectors.
