Overview
On June 7th, 2024, Inmetro published a rectification of Ordinance No. 420:2021, which assesses conformity for solar water heating equipment, under PORTARIA Nº 215, DE 6 DE JUNHO DE 2024.
Key Changes
The rectification includes several important changes:
-
Clarifications on Definitions of Open and Closed Thermosolar Reservoirs:
This update provides clearer definitions to distinguish between products that fall within the scope of certification and those that are excluded. -
Change to the Updated Standard ABNT NBR 17003:2021 for Solar Collectors:
The standard for solar collectors has been updated, ensuring that the certification process aligns with the latest technical requirements. -
Update of the PET (Product Evaluation Technical) to Clarify the Opening Area to be Considered in the Collectors:
The PET has been revised to specify the area of the solar collectors that should be considered for certification purposes.
These changes will take effect on July 1st, 2024.
We have updated the PETs as indicated by the rectification and distributed them for your consideration. Please note that we will implement this change in the subsequent follow-ups of the affected products.
