The national market for electrical wires and cables faces products of dubious quality, with electrical resistance exceeding normative limits, which may cause fires. This dissertation addresses the importance of ensuring the compliance of these products, focusing on the estimation of measurement uncertainty in electrical resistance tests for wires and cables with nominal voltages up to 450/750V. The "top-down" methodology was applied, using the Ishikawa Diagram, enabling the creation of a mathematical model to calculate combined standard uncertainty. Tests conducted on samples from factories and the market revealed non-conformities, emphasizing the need for improved inspection and measurement processes.
