Where this applies
This record is scoped to Brazil. Scope is part of the claim: a rule that binds one part of a country does not bind the whole of it, and this library states the scope its sources state.
Instrument
Lei nº 9.933/1999, Art. 1º, plus a Portaria per compulsory product group
Who it binds
Manufacturers and suppliers of goods, inputs and services subject to a compulsory technical regulation
What it requires
Inmetro runs compulsory ("compulsórios") conformity-assessment programmes alongside voluntary ones; each compulsory item is tied to its own Portaria (for example toys under Portaria 563/2016, fire extinguishers under Portaria 486/2010, new tyres under Portaria 544/2012). Inmetro publishes the official, current list of compulsory items directly — this record links to that list rather than reproducing it, since the list changes.
