The National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO) is a Brazilian federal autarky, linked to MDIC, the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade.

In Brazil, certification bodies must be accredited by INMETRO. Electrical and electronic products that meet Brazilian requirements and that are certified by an INMETRO accredited organization must carry the mandatory INMETRO mark along with the mark of the certification organization, such as UCIEE (União Certificadora para o Controle da Conformidade de Produtos, Processos ou Serviços).
