Since the 1990´s, the conformity assessment activity has been strongly considered as one of the main tools to avoid technical barriers to trade and, consequently, to promote market access. It is also important to fortify the national industry and the internal market, promoting health and safety consumers’ protection as well as the environment.

 

In Brazil, the demand for conformity assessment programs development increases not only in numbers but also in complexity.
