RJ-SCIE · Enforcement & Regular Inspection

Who inspects, and how often

Regular inspection intervals shorten as risk rises. The lowest category is checked by the município; the rest by ANEPC or an accredited entity (Art. 19, RJ-SCIE).

Municipal competence for 1st-category buildings has applied since 1 January 2024. Not every use type and category falls under the regular cycle, so part of an inspection's value is establishing whether yours does, and when the interval next runs out.
