NOM Mark Product Certification Organization (PCO)

UL is an independent organization with more than a century of experience in product safety and compliance evaluation, among which are product certifications based on Mexican Official Standards (NOM) and Mexican Standards (NMX).

On Tuesday, August 17, the Ministry of Economy published an executive order that recognizes the equivalence of certain U.S. and Canadian issued certifications with those issued in accordance to the Mexican Official Standards (NOM) by Mexican certification organizations. Learn more about this order and UL's response.
