Unlocking the Brazilian Market: One-Stop Certification Testing Solutions
Brazil, as Latin America's largest automotive market, boasts a substantial manufacturing base and stringent product access regulations. For any automotive parts manufacturer seeking to enter or expand within this market, mandatory certification from Brazil's National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO) is an indispensable step. This certification serves not only as a “passport” for legal sales but also as the “cornerstone” for building consumer trust in product safety and quality locally.
In this section, you will find detailed testing protocols and equipment mappings for critical safety components such as tires, brake pads, and automotive batteries. We are committed to helping you: gain a clear overview of core test items and required equipment, and provide equipment selections ranging from basic to comprehensive solutions based on your production scale and certification stage.
Let us help you transform certification challenges into competitive advantages, ensuring your products enter the Brazilian market with robustness and efficiency.

Automotive components sold in the Brazilian market must undergo mandatory INMETRO certification.
Scope: Primarily covers critical safety components including tires, automotive batteries, seat belts, brake pads, safety glass, lighting fixtures, and child safety seats.
Testing is conducted according to Brazilian National Standards (NBR). Test items include mechanical performance, safety performance, environmental performance, and chemical compliance.
Overview:
▪ Tires: Require durability, high-speed performance, and wet traction resistance testing.
Durability testing: Simulates prolonged rolling wear.
High-speed performance testing: Simulates stability under high-speed operation.
Wet traction resistance testing: Evaluates wet surface grip.
Testing equipment involved: Abrasion tester, high/low-temperature chamber, friction coefficient tester
▪ Brake Pads: Must undergo friction coefficient, wear rate, and high-temperature performance testing.
Friction Coefficient Test: Evaluates friction performance under varying temperatures and pressures.
Wear Rate Test: Assesses service life.
High-Temperature Performance Test: Measures resistance to thermal fade.
Testing Equipment Involved: High-temperature chamber, wear tester, tensile tester
▪ Automotive Batteries: Require cycle life, short-circuit protection, and vibration testing.
Cycle life testing: Number of charge/discharge cycles.
Vibration testing: Structural integrity under simulated road vibration.
Short-circuit protection testing: Safety verification.
Testing equipment involved: Vibration test bench, high/low-temperature chamber, leakage current tester, resistance tester.
