Open Public Consultation: Proposal to Update the RGCP
Inmetro – the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology – has launched an important public consultation to receive contributions on the proposed update to the General Requirements for Product Certification (RGCP). This document outlines the guidelines applicable to various conformity assessment programs in Brazil.
The ongoing revision aims to modernize procedures and enhance the clarity of technical requirements, promoting greater transparency and safety for all stakeholders: manufacturers, certification bodies, regulators, and consumers. This is a crucial step to ensure that product certification keeps pace with technological innovation and market demands, while safeguarding the public interest.
Those interested in contributing to the development of this new version of the RGCP can access the document at the following link:
Suggestions and comments must be submitted by mid-July, directly through Inmetro’s platform.
