Civil House determines that Ipem carry out meter measurement in Rio

Located in Rio Grande do Sul, the Inmetro database that controls the services of all Weights and Measures Institutes in Brazilian states, is underwater, without light and without fuel for the generators that supported the building. Thus, around 34 thousand taxi drivers in Rio are being affected by the loss of scheduling the annual inspection of their vehicles. However, the Secretary of the Civil House, Nicola Miccione, authorized the Institute of Weights and Measures of Rio de Janeiro (Ipem/RJ) to carry out the services.

Thus, the objective is for the body to maintain the scheduling of taximeter checking services, as well as the release and issuance of the certificate and the placement of the Legal “Ride de Táxi Seal”, preventing professionals from being harmed and thus being able to continue working. within the legality of the territory of Rio.

According to Ademir Paixão, superintendent of the organization, this is yet another example that shows how the catastrophe occurring in the south of the country affects the entire national territory. Therefore, it is necessary to find operating alternatives to continue a fundamental service for Rio de Janeiro.

“The state’s taxi drivers have already paid all the expected fees, and now they need to carry out the service to continue serving the population of our city and the thousands of tourists… Therefore, professionals who are already booked and want to carry out the service can attend normally, guaranteeing the previously made appointment” explained Paixão.

Furthermore, the superintendent emphasizes that continuity of service helps maintain passenger safety. “In addition to combating pirate taxis, users will be able to be sure that they are traveling in a legal vehicle, when they see the Ride de Táxi Legal seal on the windshield,” added the superintendent.

Therefore, taxi drivers working in Rio de Janeiro must go to Ipem/RJ to carry out the annual inspection and obtain the seal. Other than that, you will also receive a provisional annual licensing document, until Inmetro’s central database returns to issuing documents normally.
