LOCAL CONTENT CERTIFICATION
Transparency and compliance in every component of your delivery
Local Content Certification is a strategic requirement established by the Federal Government to strengthen the national economy. Under the Law No. 12,351/2010 and ANP resolutions, this framework establishes minimum local content requirements for contracts in the Oil & Gas sector.
At Bureau Veritas, we translate this regulatory complexity into business security, performing rigorous verification of contracts that carry this commitment, serving the entire supply chain—from the EPC contractor to the subcontractor.
Our approach validates that each item used in your project, from small components to large systems, is tracked and verified, confirming that the required nationalization percentage in the contract is strictly met and evidenced to regulatory bodies.
BENEFITS OF CERTIFICATION
- Compliance: fulfillment of ANP legal and governmental requirements.
- Penalty Prevention: strategy for fulfilling the contracted percentage, mitigating the risk of contractual fines.
- Operational Transparency: visibility and traceability regarding domestic vs. imported items within the cost structure.
- Competitive Advantage in Tenders: demonstrating readiness and organization to meet local content requirements in new auctions and bids.
HOW WE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS

- Procurement Partnership: We work alongside your procurement team from the planning stage, assisting in strategic supplier selection from the pre-contractual phase to the end of the contract.
- Clear Technical Language: We translate complex government requirements into clear processes, facilitating understanding for engineering, administrative, and commercial teams.
