A NOM (= Norma Oficial Mexicana = Official Mexican Standard) have
the force of Law. They are created by the DGN (= Dirección General
de Normas) which is under the authority of the Secretary of Economy
(Secretaría de Economía = formerly known as SECOFI) The DGN
creates National Consultative Committees integrated by experts, both
government and private sector who create NOMs or Standards based
on the Laws, and Regulations. The NOMs provide you with the details
of compliance, procedures, programs, permits. Each NOM has a
designation based on the Secretary responsible for oversight of
compliance. Example: NOM-005-STPS-1998 is a Health and Safety
standard. All Health and Safety Standards have a different number but
the same "STPS" designation.

The 2 lists of highly hazardous activities include the production,
processing, transport, storage, use or final disposition of chemical
substances when volumes equal or higher than the following reporting
quantities are handled:
All activities involving hazardous materials or considered hazardous
activities have specific restrictions. it is very important to check
these 2 lists
NOMs = Normas Oficiales Mexicanas = Official Mexican Standards
"ECOL" vs "SEMARNAT"
"SEMARNAT"
vs
"ECOL"
in the designations of environmental standards - do not be confused
by "ECOL" and "SEMARNAT" there is no difference. An agreement was
published in the DOF on April 23, 2003 that changes the
nomenclature for all environmental NOMs. ECOL was changed to
SEMARNAT, but it was only a name change and there is no
difference. In older documents you will still see the "ECOL"
designation, so look for the NOM as SEMARNAT, if you don't find the
"ECOL" designation.
