The main government agency for the certification management of various products, including automotive products, is the Ministry of Economy of Mexico. In addition to standard and regulation revisions, it is also responsible for the designation and accreditation of product certification bodies and laboratories.
The Norma Oficial Mexicana - NOM standards are mandatory, at present, Mexico has established a relatively complete NOM certification system for limited product categories, including electronic, electrical, communication products, lighting devices, medical equipment, tires, toys, and battery-driven products.

Radio-Telecommunication Device
The standard for wireless communication in Mexico is mainly NOM-208-SCFI, which is suitable for Radiocommunication systems that employ the dispersed spectrum technique. The radio communication equipment has frequency hopping and digital modulation functions at 902 - 928 MHz, 2400 - 2483.5 MHz and 5725 - 5725. MHz, including Bluetooth, WIFI, GMS electronics, IT equipment. Mexico does not control 3G and 4G technologies.
Energy Efficiency Requirements
The energy efficiency requirements of Mexican products are used to assess whether the product meets the power saving requirements, and is mainly divided into:
NOM-030-ENER LED light
NOM-031-ENER Outdoor and Road LED Lights
NOM-032-ENER Electronics with standby power storage mode
NOM-031-ENER Outdoor and Road LED Lights
NOM-032-ENER Electronics with standby power storage mode
Commercial Label
Packaging in the Mexican market should display the necessary information about the product in Spanish to avoid misleading consumers.
The most common criteria for commercial label auditing are:
NOM-024-SCFI Electronics, household appliances
NOM-050-SCFI Other general products
NOM-050-SCFI Other general products
