How to comply with NOM rules and regulations without wasting time or money
Rules you should know
- Tequila: NOM‑006‑SCFI‑2012—production specifications.
- Mezcal: NOM‑070‑SCFI‑2016—definitions, equipment and methods.
- Labeling and health standards: NOM‑142‑SSA1/SCFI‑2014 for beverages.
Step 1: Early Planning
From the initial idea, it includes specialized legal and technical advice for NOM and CRT. It avoids costly rework.
Step 2: Regulated Design
Make labels that comply with ALL the required information (alcohol, NOM, origin, ingredients).
Step 3: Select a certified maquiladora or factory
Work only with plants authorized by NOM and CRT registration, to avoid rejections or fines.
Step 4: Monitoring and quality control
Perform physical-chemical tests (alcohol content, methanol, etc.) that require NOM. Don't wait until the final batch.
Step 5: Efficient procedures
Integrates CRT, IMPI and DGN: CRT certificate, trademark registration, DOT and NOM authorization at the same time.
Step 6: Plan export
Consider target market requirements from the outset: EU, US, and Asia require labeling, sanitary and customs labeling.
