iCertifi was just notified that NOM-001-SCFI-2018, Electronic Devices – Safety Requirements and Test Methods, which cancels NOM-001- SCFI-1993 will be postponed until August 14, 2020.
The new NOM standard was expected to enter into force on May 14, 2020, but as of today, the Secretary of Economy announced an extension to the original date.
When the new NOM-001-SCFI-2018 comes into force in August, the following important changes will be required:
- The new lead time for the issuance of a test report will be increased.
- All devices working with Solar Energy will be tested now under this new Standard, however they will be analyzed per request.
- This new Standard includes devices that are also covered under NOM-019-SCFI-1998. This means if the HS Code considers 2 Standards, samples must be tested under both.
- All testing methods will now be destructive to any sample received. You need to consider that all NOM-001 testing will be done to components mainly, so electronic cards will be tested also and destroyed.
