SGS
has published an overview of two new Brazilian ordinances that came into effect
on May 3, 2021. These documents regulate two specific categories of juvenile
product:
- Children’s strollers – Ordinance No. 167 of April
13, 2021 (167/2021)
‘Approving the Quality Technical Regulation and Conformity Assessment
Requirements for Children’s Strollers’ - Feeding
chairs – Ordinance No. 168 of April 14, 2021 (168/2021) ‘Approving the Quality
Technical Regulation and Conformity Assessment Requirements for Children’s
Feeding Chairs’

Originally
published in April 2021 by the Brazilian Ministry of Economy/National Institute
of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO),
these legislative documents consolidate the technical regulations and
conformity assessment requirements for both product types. They follow a
similar structure and contain provisions relating to, inter alia, scope,
premarket requirements, market surveillance, technical regulations and
conformity assessment requirements, and use of the ‘Conformity Identification
Seal’ (CIS).
Upon their effective dates, they repealed:
- Ordinance Nos. 167/2021 ‘Strollers’: INMETRO Ordinance Nos. 315/12, 351/2012,
494/2015 & 222/2016 - Ordinance 168/2021 ‘Feeding Chairs’: INMETRO
Ordinance Nos. 683/2012, 51/2013 & 227/2016

Technical Regulation’ (Annex I) and ‘Conformity Assessment Requirements’ (Annex II) contained in Ordinances 167/2021
and 168/2021 should review SGS’s original SafeGuard 058/21.
