Mark your calendars! Chile has unveiled the Draft Protocol PE No. 8/11:2023, titled “Protocolo de Análisis y/o Ensayos de Seguridad de Producto Eléctrico,” on June 19, 2023. This protocol establishes a comprehensive certification procedure specifically tailored for Audio and Video electronic products primarily designed for Television transmission, boasting a diagonal length of 165.1 cm (65″) or less.
Under this protocol:
- Products sharing common material characteristics, manufacturing methods, similar components, and geographic production locations will be eligible for Family certification.
- The number of models required for testing varies:
- Up to 5 models necessitate testing of the most representative model.
- Up to 10 models call for testing of two distinct most representative models.
- And so forth, with increasing model numbers requiring testing of additional most representative models.
Please note: IT products interfacing with Televisions are excluded from this protocol and are subject to evaluation under the IEC 60950 standard.
Stay informed and participate in shaping the future of electrical product certification in Chile!
