Dears,
INMETRO issued a statement informing that, as of May 10th, all companies that have certificates of conformity issued based on its regulations, must link their respective CNPJs in the Orchestra system.
This measure aims to increase confidence in the system and prevent unauthorized use of certificates by third parties. There is no limit to the number of CNPJs that can be authorized, and this authorization can be revoked at any time in the same system.
Only companies registered in the Certified Products database (Prodcert) as applicants can authorize the use of certificates for other CNPJs.
As of June 30, 2023, the INMETRO import consent process will only accept certificates in requests if the applicant’s CNPJ is previously linked as authorized to use the certificate of conformity.
