Colombia’s New Battery Regulation Delay

On July 9, 2019, Colombia’s Ministries of Commerce and Environment published Resolution 1222/2019, which again delays the implementation of the new Colombian Battery Resolution 0721/2018 until December 19, 2019.

This latest disposition allows companies to import electronic products containing batteries without a certificate of approval until December 19 of this year.

The enforcement of Resolution 0721/2018, published on April 16, 2018, was initially delayed in January 2019 and was supposed to take effect on July 19, 2019. However, due to concerns regarding its content, the Ministries decided to extend the postponement until December 2019.
