EMA Promotes Competitiveness, Sustainability in Tlaxcala

The Mexican Accreditation Entity (EMA) held the “Jornada de Normas y Acreditación” in Tlaxcala to promote competitiveness and environmental responsibility among businesses through compliance with technical and environmental standards. The event gathered entrepreneurs, industrial leaders, and regulatory experts to highlight how accreditation supports quality assurance and sustainable growth.

Organized in collaboration with CANACINTRA, PROFEPA, and CMIC, the forum underscored the importance of Mexico’s National Quality Infrastructure System, which integrates standardization, accreditation, conformity assessment, and metrology.

“Mexico’s quality system ensures that products and services meet standards protecting health, safety, and the environment,” said Renato Ortíz Navarrete, Manager of Inspection Units, EMA. He noted that all goods and services should comply with norms that promote quality, safety, and sustainability.

Since its creation more than 26 years ago, EMA has issued over 8,500 accreditations across multiple sectors, recognized in more than 15 countries. The organization accredits laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection units to verify compliance with national and international standards.

Armando Montoya, Director of Promotion and Certification at PROFEPA’s National Environmental Audit Program (PNAA), stressed the importance of embedding environmental responsibility into business operations. He noted that the voluntary PNAA program helps companies improve compliance and efficiency, generating tangible benefits such as lower water and energy use and reduced hazardous waste.

Also participating were Pedro Guarneros of CMIC and Carlos Alberto Tamayo of CANACINTRA, who reaffirmed their support for strengthening regulatory compliance and advancing sustainable industrial practices in Mexico.
