SEC Stamp and Energy Efficiency Label for CBT

The Chilean government mandates specific procedures for the sale of electronic products. If you work with sellers who are listing products on the Chile site, it's crucial to adhere to these requirements to prevent potential moderation. Below is a detailed list specifying the criteria for this category of products:

• Low-voltage electrical items (e.g., cables, extension cords, and other power connection products) without Safety Certification (issued by the SEC).
• Operate on electricity or fuels and are subject to energy efficiency labeling requirements (e.g., refrigerators, air conditioners, and others). Per regulations, products lacking the mandatory energy efficiency label are prohibited from public view.
• Mimic electricity-operated toys, featuring shapes such as animals, characters, people, or scale models, in contravention of IEC 60335-1 and the guidelines of the Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels (SEC).
