Export Focus: Brazil Delays Implementation of Smart Home Device Safety Standards

As the largest economy in Latin America, Brazil has strict requirements for the safety standards of electrical equipment. The Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO) is the authoritative body responsible for the mandatory certification of various electrical products, including switches, sockets, cables, and other household electrical devices. All electrical and electronic products that meet Brazilian requirements and are certified by INMETRO must carry the mandatory INMETRO mark along with the certification body’s logo.

Smart home devices have seen rapid growth in the Brazilian market in recent years, with dimmer switches and electronic switches being core components of smart lighting control systems. The safety and reliability requirements for these devices are continuously increasing. The implementation of new standards will ensure that these devices operate stably in complex electrical environments while meeting Brazil’s unique voltage requirements. It is noteworthy that Brazil is one of the few countries without a standard voltage; approximately 60% of households use 127 volts, while some states use 220 volts, which raises higher compatibility requirements for electrical equipment.
