Peru, new energy labeling requirements will gradually come into effect according to the Supreme Decree No. 009-2019-EM. Originally, the requirements established by Technical Regulation on the Energy Efficiency Labeling of Energy Using Equipment No. 009-2017-EM were to take effect on April 8, 2019.
According to the new Decree, a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) by a recognized certification body is required for the appliances on the dates listed in the chart below.
| Product | Effective Date |
| Lamps for domestic use and similar uses for general lighting | Nov. 3, 2019 |
| Three-phase asynchronous or induction electric motors with squirrel cage rotor | Dec. 3, 2019 |
| Refrigeration appliances for domestic use | April 1, 2020 |
| Washing machines for domestic use | April 1, 2020 |
| Tumble dryers for domestic use | April 1, 2020 |
| Instantaneous water heaters | April 1, 2020 |
| For ballasts and boilers where no Certification Office (CO) is established | The effective date will be 360 days after the first Certification Body is accredited and published in the Peruvian official gazette |
During the transition period, importers, distributors and/or sellers must ensure products are marked with the new energy label and meet the applicable annexes and Technical Regulations without the need to present a CoC. The products will remain subject to the respective inspection and sanctions in case of non-compliance with subsections i), ii) and iii) of section 12.2 of article 12 of the Technical Regulations approved by Supreme Decree No. 009-2017-EM. Importers, distributors and/or sellers may use national or international accredited or non-accredited testing laboratories to carry out the tests and/or evaluations necessary to report the information and comply with the Energy Efficiency Labeling requirements.
