Compliance item Common China baseline Mexico (NOM / NYCE / ANCE) Gap / action Source + verification date
NOM Certification — NYCE / ANCE Approved Scope China files may include CCC certificates, CQC certificates, CNAS-accredited reports, CB reports, factory inspection results, and China Energy Label records. These files do not identify a Mexican certificate holder or importer and are not issued under Mexico's accreditation and approval system.CCC certification
CQC voluntary certification
CNAS-accredited reports
CB Scheme reports
China Energy Label records		 For covered LED luminaires, import and sale normally require conformity assessment through a Mexican body accredited and approved for the exact NOM and product scope. NYCE and ANCE are common certification bodies for electrical and electronic NOM work, but selection must be based on approved scope, not name recognition. The certificate holder, importer, model family, labels, manuals, surveillance and shipment documents should match.Ley de Infraestructura de la Calidad — conformity assessment and accredited/approved bodies
NOM-058-SCFI, NOM-031-ENER, NOM-003-SCFI where product scope applies
NYCE / ANCE or another approved certification body for the relevant NOM scope		 Build the Mexico certification plan before production release: tariff and NOM scope check, approved body selection, Spanish documentation, samples, model-family matrix, factory or quality-system evidence if required, surveillance plan, importer data, certificate-holder decision, and final label artwork. Mismatches can block customs release or retail sale.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat NYCE/ANCE selection as a scope-controlled certification decision. Use only a body approved for the applicable NOM and LED luminaire scope, and align importer, certificate holder, surveillance obligations and Spanish labels before shipment.

LED Energy Efficiency — NOM-031-ENER China-side lighting files may include China Energy Label records, GB/T performance reports, CQC voluntary energy-saving certificates, LM-79-style photometric data, and manufacturer efficacy claims. These can support engineering review but do not determine NOM-031-ENER applicability and do not substitute for Mexican certification or label content.China Energy Label rules where applicable
GB/T LED lighting performance standards
CQC voluntary energy-saving certification		 NOM-031-ENER is the Mexico energy-efficiency gate most likely to affect covered LED lighting products. Importers should confirm whether the luminaire, integrated LED lamp/light source, replacement LED lamp, or product family is within the current CONUEE NOM scope, then complete required testing, certification, labelling, and surveillance before import or sale.NOM-031-ENER — energy efficiency for LED lighting products, where product scope applies
CONUEE current energy-efficiency NOM list
Mexican energy-efficiency certificate, label and surveillance route where required		 The gap is not only efficacy data. Mexico requires the product family, rated input, luminous flux, power factor, useful-life claim, test method, Spanish label, certificate holder, importer, and surveillance plan to match the NOM-031-ENER route when the product is covered. China energy files should be mapped to Mexican test and labelling fields before artwork or shipment release.[INFORMATIONAL] Screen every Mexico-bound LED lighting SKU against NOM-031-ENER. Existing China efficiency or photometric reports should be treated as technical inputs, not market-entry authorization. Gobierno de Mexico / CONUEE2026-06-12 · unverified
Spanish Labelling, Instructions and Importer Identification China-market LED luminaires typically carry Chinese labels, GB/CCC markings, Chinese warnings, domestic manufacturer information, and China energy-label content where applicable. That label set does not normally include Mexico importer information, Spanish warnings, NOM certificate references, or Mexico-specific electrical and energy-efficiency fields.GB 7000.1 marking and instruction requirements
CCC marking rules for in-scope lighting products
China Energy Label rules where applicable		 Mexico market placement normally requires Spanish-language product information for safety, installation, operation, warnings, ratings, responsible party, country of origin, and applicable NOM/certification information. LED luminaire labels and manuals should be aligned with NOM-058-SCFI safety evidence, NOM-031-ENER energy-efficiency content where covered, NOM-003-SCFI electrical-product evidence where applicable, and the certification body's approved model scope.NOM-058-SCFI labelling and instruction expectations where applicable
NOM-031-ENER energy-efficiency label content where applicable
NOM-003-SCFI electrical-product safety labelling where applicable
NOM-024-SCFI commercial information route for electronics/electrical products where applicable
Spanish-language safety and installation instructions		 Before shipment, create Mexico-specific artwork and manuals in Spanish. Minimum review items include model number, rated voltage/frequency/current, wattage, luminous flux and efficacy where claimed or required, power factor where required, replacement or non-replaceable light-source statements, installation restrictions, grounding and thermal warnings, importer/responsible-party details, country of origin, lot or serial traceability, NOM certificate references where required, and surveillance label conditions from the certification body.[INFORMATIONAL] Mexico-bound LED luminaires need Spanish labels and manuals tied to the NOM certificate, energy-efficiency evidence where covered, and importer of record. Do not ship China-market CCC-only labels as the final Mexico artwork. Diario Oficial de la Federacion / Secretaria de Economia2026-06-12 · unverified
Electrical Product Safety — NOM-003-SCFI China electrical safety evidence may include CCC certificates for luminaires or power supplies, GB 7000.1 reports, GB 19510.14 reports for LED controlgear, plug/cord certificates, and CB reports. These are useful inputs but do not answer Mexican tariff/NOM applicability and do not create a Mexican NOM certificate.CCC certification where applicable
GB 7000.1 luminaire safety
GB 19510.14 LED controlgear safety
CB Scheme reports where available		 NOM-003-SCFI is a common Mexican electrical-product safety NOM and must be screened for LED luminaires, LED drivers, power supplies, cord sets, plug-connected accessories, and packaged electrical components. Applicability is a tariff, voltage, product-function, and scope question; the importer should confirm whether NOM-003-SCFI applies alone, together with NOM-058-SCFI, or through another product-specific NOM path.NOM-003-SCFI — electrical products safety specifications
NOM-058-SCFI — luminaires safety, where product scope applies
Applicable import NOM rules for tariff classification and product scope		 The practical gap is classification and evidence ownership. A technically strong China or CB file can still fail Mexican import if the NOM-003-SCFI certificate, approved body, model family, importer, Spanish label, and customs documents do not align with the applicable NOM scope.[INFORMATIONAL] Include NOM-003-SCFI in the Mexico scope screen for LED luminaires and electrical accessories. Do not rely on China CCC or CB evidence as a substitute for a Mexico-specific NOM determination. Diario Oficial de la Federacion / Secretaria de Economia2026-06-12 · unverified
Luminaire Safety — NOM-058-SCFI Scope China LED luminaire files commonly include GB 7000.1 safety reports, CCC certificates for in-scope residential lighting products, LED driver evidence under GB 19510.14, and factory inspection evidence. These files can support technical review but are not Mexican NOM certificates and do not identify the Mexican importer or certificate holder.GB 7000.1 — Luminaires — Part 1: General requirements and tests
GB 19510.14 — LED controlgear safety
CNCA-C10-01 — CCC certification rules for lighting products		 Mexico-bound LED luminaires should be screened against NOM-058-SCFI for luminaire safety before shipment. The certification plan should confirm whether the complete luminaire, integrated LED module, driver/control gear, accessories, rated voltage, installation type, and intended use fall within the NOM scope. Covered products generally need conformity evidence through an accredited and approved Mexican route before import or sale.NOM-058-SCFI — luminaires safety, where product scope applies
Mexican accredited and approved certification-body route for applicable NOMs		 The key gap is Mexico-specific certification and scope classification. Do not ship using a China-only CCC/GB safety file unless the Mexican NOM scope has been checked, the approved certification body has accepted the model family, Spanish markings and instructions are aligned, and the certificate holder and importer match the customs and retail documents.[INFORMATIONAL] Treat NOM-058-SCFI as the first Mexico safety scope check for LED luminaires. China CCC or GB 7000.1 evidence may help testing review, but it does not replace Mexican NOM certification where the product is covered. Diario Oficial de la Federacion2026-06-12 · unverified
