Brazil's INMETRO energy efficiency certification is a mandatory hurdle for many products entering the market. To help you quickly build an overall understanding.

Core Certification Information (as of 2025):

INMETRO Energy Efficiency Applicable Products:

Products requiring INMETRO energy efficiency certification mainly include high-energy-consumption household appliances, industrial motors, and lighting products. Below are some typical product categories:

  Key Steps for INMETRO Energy Efficiency Certification:

1.Confirm Certification Requirements: First, check the latest technical regulations (Portaria) from INMETRO to confirm if your product is under mandatory energy efficiency certification.

2.Select a Certification Body (OCP): Submit the application to an INMETRO-accredited Certification Body (OCP).

3.Prepare Technical Files: The foundation for review. Typically required:

·Product Technical Specification Sheet

·User Manual in Portuguese

·Circuit Diagrams

·List of Critical Components

4.Product Testing: Samples must undergo energy efficiency testing in laboratories located in and accredited by Brazil. Testing standards are Brazilian National Standards (ABNT NBR), mostly based on international standards but may have local differences.

5.Energy Efficiency Label (PBE): After passing tests, the official INMETRO energy efficiency label (PBE) must be affixed to the product.

·Label Information: Must clearly show the energy efficiency class (typically A to G).

·Affixing Requirements: The label must be permanently attached to the product using wet-resistant, wear-resistant, high-quality material and not easily removable.

  INMETRO Energy Efficiency Standard Examples:

Different product categories follow different energy efficiency standards, for example:

·Refrigerators: Must comply with INMETRO Ordinance 563/2022, energy class A~G.

·Air Conditioners: Must comply with INMETRO Ordinance 143/2015, SEER rating.

·LED Lamps: Must comply with INMETRO Ordinance 389/2014, specific efficacy requirements.
