Brazil INMETRO









National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality

  

The CERFLOR Forest Certification System - This system has been developed within the national standardization framework guided by the rules of National Council of Metrology (CONMETRO), which is the highest Brazilian organization dealing with standardization and certification. The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) prepared the CERFLOR standards. The procedures of ABNT on implementation and revision of standards also apply to the CERFLOR standards.

The National Institute of Metrology Normalization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO), as the sole accreditation body in Brazil, establishes guidelines for auditing the conformity assessment based on international accreditation standards. INMETRO also has set the basic requirements for acceptable group certification within the CERFLOR framework.
