Brazilian Product Testing & INMETRO Certification Request Form

Get Your Products Certified for the Brazilian Market with INMETRO Compliance

Navigating Brazilian product certification requirements can be complex, especially when dealing with INMETRO (Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Qualidade e Tecnologia) standards. This Brazilian Product Testing & INMETRO Certification Request Form template streamlines the entire certification application process, helping manufacturers, importers, and distributors submit complete and accurate requests for product testing and regulatory approval.

Why Product Certification Matters in Brazil

INMETRO certification is mandatory for hundreds of product categories sold in Brazil, from electrical appliances and toys to construction materials and personal protective equipment. Without proper certification, products cannot legally enter the Brazilian market, leading to customs delays, fines, and lost revenue. This form ensures you gather all the necessary information upfront—manufacturer CNPJ details, technical specifications, testing standards, and supporting documentation—reducing back-and-forth with certification bodies and accelerating your time to market.

Built for Brazilian Regulatory Workflows

This Paperform template is specifically designed for the Brazilian regulatory environment. It collects essential Brazilian business identifiers like CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) and CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas), captures product classification according to Brazilian standards, and guides applicants through INMETRO-specific requirements including testing laboratory preferences, applicable technical regulations, and conformity assessment procedures.

Whether you're a manufacturer seeking first-time certification, an importer applying for product registration, or a certification body managing client requests, this form provides a professional, compliant foundation for your certification workflow.

How Manufacturers and Importers Use This Form

Manufacturing companies use this form to initiate certification requests for products destined for the Brazilian market, providing complete technical data, quality documentation, and company registration details in a single submission. Import/export firms leverage it to coordinate certification requirements with overseas suppliers and Brazilian authorities, ensuring all regulatory boxes are checked before shipment. Testing laboratories and certification bodies can customize this form to standardize their intake process, reducing incomplete applications and improving processing times.

The form captures everything needed for a complete INMETRO submission: company identification (including CNPJ and contact details), comprehensive product information (model numbers, technical specifications, intended use), applicable INMETRO ordinances and technical regulations, testing requirements, sample submission details, and supporting documentation uploads.

Automate Your Certification Workflow with Stepper

Once submitted, certification requests often trigger multi-step workflows involving document review, testing coordination, laboratory scheduling, and regulatory communication. With Stepper (stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow automation tool, you can automatically route certification requests to the appropriate reviewers, send confirmation emails with submission details, create tracking records in your CRM or project management system, and notify internal teams when applications are ready for processing.

For example, Stepper can automatically validate CNPJ numbers against government databases, categorize requests by product type and urgency, assign applications to specific certification specialists, and trigger follow-up sequences when additional documentation is required. This automation reduces manual data entry, prevents applications from falling through the cracks, and gives both applicants and certification staff real-time visibility into certification status.
