Instant water heaters are part of the low-voltage electrical products covered by URSEA’s regulations. To be marketed in the national market, they must have the corresponding electrical safety certification, which confirms compliance with the technical requirements established by current regulations.
This certification involves a detailed evaluation of the product, covering both its design and its performance under normal and abnormal conditions of use. It verifies, among other aspects, protection against electric shock, insulation effectiveness, resistance to overheating, the safe operation of electronic controls, and structural safety in the event of potential faults.
The main objective of this certification is to ensure that the equipment does not pose a risk to the user or to the electrical installation to which it is connected. It is also an indispensable requirement for its import, distribution, and commercialization within the country, contributing to a safer and more regulated market for this type of device, which is frequently used in the home.
