Public Consultation Launch
The Chilean Ministry of Energy on December 28, 2022, launched a public consultation to gather industry feedback on proposals for a new energy efficiency label design and requirements for washing machines.
This Ministry, by resolution, establishes the products, machines, instruments, equipment, appliances, and those using electrical, gas, or liquid fuel materials—or any type of energy resource—that must have an approval certificate or certification for commercialization. A respective energy consumption label is necessary to outline the procedures for implementing the technical specifications of these energy consumption labels.
The consultation process will be open for 60 calendar days, starting on December 28, 2022, with closure on February 27, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. The results will be studied and revealed during 2023. ORBIS will provide updates on any official changes.
