01 / ASSESS

NR Compliance & Gap Assessment

Identify applicable Brazilian regulatory standards, safety gaps and recommended corrective priorities.

02 / REVIEW

Risk Assessment & Design Review

Review machine safeguarding, mechanical and electrical designs, operating modes and residual risks.

03 / INTEGRATE

Functional Safety & Line Interfaces

Evaluate interlocks, stop zoning, safety-related controls, PL calculations and machine interfaces.

04 / VERIFY

FAT, SAT & Technical Verification

Perform agreed inspections, safety-function checks and follow-up of corrective actions in China or Brazil.

05 / RESPONSIBILITY

ART & Local Responsible Engineering

Coordinate applicable engineering work with qualified Brazilian professionals and ART registration within the defined scope.

06 / DOCUMENT

Technical Documentation & Training

Support risk reports, safety matrices, technical files, inspection records and project-specific training.

Services, responsibilities and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope. ART registration, where applicable, is performed by legally qualified responsible professionals under the relevant CREA rules.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before You Ship Machinery to Brazil

Project scope and legally responsible professionals are determined individiually.

Does CE marking automatically satisfy Brazilian NR requirements?

No. CE documents may be useful technical evidence, but Brazilian requirements and the installation site's conditions still need assessment.

Is NR-12 the only requirement for an automation line?

Not necessarily. NR-10, NR-11, NR-17 or other applicable requirements may be relevant depending on equipment, operations and local conditions.

When should our Brazil compliance review begin?

Ideally during concept or detailed design, before safety architecture and major layouts are fixed. Reviews can also begin at manufacturing or FAT stages.

Can an ART be registered for our project?

Where applicable, a qualified Brazilian responsible professional registers ART for a defined engineering activity under the relevant CREA rules before that work begins.

Does a China FAT replace Brazil SAT?

No. FAT verifies agreed functions before shipment, but installation conditions and integrated interfaces may still require on-site verification.

Is an NR-12 report a universal mandatory certification?

No. NR-12 sets regulatory requirements. Engineering assessments, tests, documentation and applicable responsibility records can support demonstration of compliance.
