Regulatory | Compliance and certification

The compliance that unlocks selling in Brazil

The line brings together Inmetro/PBE homologation, the flagship of the front, and advisory on product and management certifications that open clients, tenders and international supply chains.

Meridian organizes, audits and technically runs the process, from family classification to registration and the ENCE label. The starting point is the module datasheet and the available documentation.

The service depends on the portfolio stage

The initial contact identifies scope, family, technology, available documentation and the main risk to selling in Brazil.

01

You don't yet know if you can sell in Brazil

Inmetro/PBE Readiness Check

Portfolio analysis, classification under the applicable regulation, family verification, list of missing documents and risks of rejection. The result indicates the route and what needs to be corrected.

02

You have models to regularize

Regularization by family

Organization of the technical dossier, consistency between datasheet, nameplate, manual and declared power, selection of the testing route, interface with the laboratory and support for registration and the ENCE label.

03

You have a broad portfolio, with many models

Portfolio management

Maintenance and renewal of registrations, inclusion of new power ratings, family changes, validity control and periodic portfolio audit. The goal is to keep the models sellable and auditable in Brazil.

How it works

From the factory datasheet to the registered product

Regularization is a sequence: conformity assessment by Supplier's Declaration, registration with Inmetro and authorization of the ENCE label.

Scope and family

As a rule, photovoltaic modules from 5 Wp are subject to conformity assessment. Models are handled by family: same manufacturing unit, cell technology and materials, dimensions and area. To be confirmed per case.

Classification
Technical documentation

Technical specifications sheet, energy efficiency sheet and Declaration of Conformity. Consistency between datasheet, nameplate, manual and declared power is where most processes fail.

Dossier
Laboratory testing

Samples sent to an accredited or designated laboratory, according to the IEC standards applicable to performance and safety, plus national requirements. Testing is performed by a third party; Meridian coordinates the interface.

Conformity
Supplier's Declaration

With the tests approved, the supplier issues the Declaration of Conformity. The mechanism is the supplier's declaration, not a traditional certification by an organization for each module.

Responsibility
Registration and ENCE

Registration with Inmetro authorizes market availability and the use of the National Energy Conservation Label (ENCE). Imports may be subject to non-automatic licensing.

Market access
Maintenance

Renewal of registrations, inclusion of new power ratings, family changes and portfolio audit keep the models compliant over time.

Continuity

The cost of the process is not in the registration fee: it is in testing, documentation organization, samples, logistics and avoided rework. Sizing depends on the number of regulatory families, not only on the quantity of commercial power ratings.

Complementary · Certification and Training

Beyond homologation, what opens markets

Advisory for the client to obtain and maintain product and management certifications. Items complementary to homologation; scope defined per case.

Certifications
  • TÜV: product certification of the module for the markets that require it;
  • ISO 9001: quality management system;
  • ISO 14001: environmental management system.
Systems and training
  • Management system (ERP): selection and implementation, connecting operation and integrated management;
  • Training: upskilling the teams on regulatory and management topics.
Next step

Bring the module datasheet

From a datasheet, Meridian indicates the preliminary classification, the required documents and the regularization route. If the decision is to produce in Brazil, the project is routed to the Implanta line.

  • manufacturer and manufacturing unit;
  • cell technology and module construction;
  • models and power ratings to launch in Brazil;
  • own brand, OEM or manufacturer's brand;
  • available documentation and language;
  • history of registration, labeling or import in Brazil.
