- Ensures compliance with international technical standards, such as IEC 61851, which regulate operation, compatibility, and safety aspects.
- Verifies that chargers operate correctly on the country’s low-voltage networks, without causing interference or overloads.
- Is mandatory for their commercialization, import, and installation in Uruguay, according to URSEA’s current regulations.
- Strengthens consumer and technical-sector confidence by ensuring the product has been formally evaluated, tested, and registered.
- Contributes to the safe and sustainable rollout of electric mobility, which is key to the country’s energy transition.
