In Brazil there is a national institution (INMETRO) that certifies almost every mass-produced item, with mandatory and voluntary categories, on a budget of ~US$100m/year.
School supplies are in the mandatory group, for obvious reasons.
- woliveirajr 8y agoThey have some criticism from the international community: they are responsible for the official metrology (setting the standards), they regulate the products, they test it for compliance, they do the accreditation for other labs... A good part of the incoming is from these tests and accreditation. So, a good amount of conflict of interest.
