As a global safety science leader, UL Solutions helps companies to demonstrate safety, enhance sustainability, strengthen security, deliver quality, manage risk and achieve regulatory compliance.
On June 16, 2020, the Regulatory Unit of Energy and Water Services (URSEA) published Resolution 153/020 containing an amendment to the previous resolution (131/2009) in terms of products covered under the mandatory safety certification. These include:
The applicablestandard for testing is UNIT-IEC 60335-2-24:2010 "Electric refrigeration appliancesfor domestic and similar use." This resolutioncame into play on January 1, 2020.
In addition to this, on Aug. 17, 2020, URSEA published Resolution 170/2020 that enables the digital certificates procedure for electrical safety mandatory certification in the framework of the Low Voltage Electrical Product Safety Regulation. This new procedure will come into force on April 1, 2021.
Also, on Aug. 17, 2020, URSEA published Resolution 169/2020 that updates the date to enable the digital certificates procedure for energy efficiency label authorization. This new procedure will come into force on Dec. 1, 2020.
Therefore, all electrical energy efficiency certificates, label and safety certificates will be verified and approved for commercialization from the enforcement date only through the digital platform according to the format and procedures established by URSEA.
The Uruguayan Energy and Water Regulator (URSEA) opened a public consultation to update the current Safety of Low-Voltage Electrical Equipment (Resolution 131/2009) on December 20, 2019.
The Public Consultation No 42 includes the standard UNIT-IEC 60335-2-24:2010 (IEC 60335-2-24 MOD) - Safety of Household Appliances - Particular Requirements for Refrigerating Appliances to harmonize with the current regulations for safety and energy efficiency requirements for household refrigerators and freezers.
Mandatory certification, which can be requested by manufacturers, importers and distributors of electrical products. It applies mainly to all components of a low voltage electrical installation such as: (switches, cables, sockets, extensions, etc.).
The Uruguayan government requires that all toys that are manufactured, imported and marketed in the Uruguayan territory must have certification of their constructive characteristics and the design according to the UNITNM 300: 2004 series.
To commercialize a radioelectric product in Uruguay, it will be necessary to obtain a certification and authorization of technical aptitude. This mandatory certification applies to any radio equipment, such as:
The Uruguayan government has established a series of specific standards to ensure compliance with regulations on energy efficiency. Currently energy efficiency labeling is mandatory for the following equipment:
You will need to consider what to pack, to ensure you can use your personal electrical appliances safely whilst abroad. This normally includes the use of a travel adaptor, which is a device that simply allows you to plug any UK electrical appliance into a foreign electrical socket. It is important to note that it does not convert the voltage or frequency.
For Uruguay there are three associated plug types, types C, F and L. Plug type C is the plug which has two round pins, plug type F is the plug which has two round pins with two earth clips on the side, and plug type L is the plug which has three round pins. Uruguayoperates on a 220V supply voltage and 50Hz.
Electricity supplies worldwide can vary from anything between 100V and 240V. It can be extremely dangerous to use an electrical appliance that is rated at a voltage different from the supply.
As voltage can differ from country to country, you may need to use a voltage converter or transformer whilst in Uruguay. If the frequency is different, the normal operation of an electrical appliance may also be affected. For example, a 50Hz clock may run faster on a 60Hz electricity supply. Most voltage converters and transformers come supplied with plug adaptors, so you may not need to buy a separate travel adaptor.
A dual voltage rated appliance will display for example ''INPUT: 110-240V'' on the body of the appliance or its power supply. This means that you will not need a converter or transformer but just a travel adaptor, because Uruguayoperates on a 220V supply voltage, which is within the 110-240V range that the dual voltage appliance operates on.
In Uruguay the supply voltage is 220V. If the appliance is a single voltage rated appliance, it will need to operate at the same voltage as the supply voltage of the country i.e. 220V. If this is not the case it should be used alongside a voltage transformer or converter to allow the appliance to work safely and properly.
