International Compliance - NR12

Based on the requirements of the Brazilian regulatory standard NR-12 (Norma Regulamentadora), we assist manufacturers and exporters with the conformity assessment of their machinery and offer operators on-site support when implementing the associated protective measures.

NR-12-compliant plant and machinery
If you are a machine manufacturer exporting to Brazil or operating machinery in Brazil, then to comply with the requirements of NR-12 you will need a service partner to provide comprehensive advice and support when dealing with the complex compliance and legal issues.

International compliance through recognised specialists
Pilz experts in Brazil are recognised specialists in the field of NR-12 compliance and will support you throughout the entire NR-12 conformity assessment procedure. That way you can be sure that you satisfy all the requirements of the Brazilian regulatory standards and that the health and safety of your staff is assured.

* Engineers from Pilz Brazil are registered with ART/CREA and therefore have official approval to carry out conformity assessments for operators and manufacturers in accordance with the regulatory standard NR-12.

As a complete supplier, we can provide support en route to final acceptance locally in Brazil. Everything is from one source: from the risk assessment, validation and technical documentation at the machine manufacturer’s through to acceptance by the operator in Brazil. The following services are also included:

• Advice during the design process on compliance with all relevant standards and directive requirements
• Clarification of the local formalities for acceptance in Brazil
• Support during commissioning
