DEKRA has been accredited as a Certification Body (CB) in Chile by the Instituto Nacional de Normalización (INN) and registered by the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC). This SEC recognition enables DEKRA to certify the compliance of products according to the mandatory Chilean electrical safety and energy efficiency regulations.
