Electrical & Electronics — Peru

For electronic and electrical products to enter the Peruvian market, they must meet official mandatory conformity assessment requirements. Mandatory certification management is implemented based on product risk levels, covering mainstream categories such as household appliances, information technology equipment, audio-visual equipment, lighting products, wireless devices, and industrial power equipment. Products without compliance certification are prohibited from import, customs clearance and market sales. Competent authorities include the National Institute of Quality of Peru (INACAL), the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM/OSINERGMIN), and the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), which regulate different types of products in separate fields.

The current compliance framework is based on the national technical regulation system released by Peruvian authorities. Core documents include: mandatory certification management rules formulated by INACAL, Resolution No. 640-2017 of MTC for radio frequency products, and access supervision rules for energy-related electronic and electrical products from OSINERGMIN. Peru adopts its own national NTP technical standard system, most of which are equivalent conversions of IEC/ISO international standards. For product-specific applicable regulations, please verify the latest requirements on the official website of the corresponding competent authority.

Safety Requirements: Implemented in accordance with NTP-IEC series standards. For example, household appliances adopt NTP-IEC 60335 series, with core assessment indicators covering electrical insulation, electric shock prevention, structural protection and other indicators. Energy Efficiency Requirements: Products included in the control catalog must comply with the energy efficiency limit requirements issued by MINEM, and affix standardized energy efficiency labels in Spanish. Radio Frequency Requirements: Products with wireless functions (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular devices, etc.) must meet the limits of transmit power, spectrum bandwidth, and spurious radiation specified by MTC. Marking Requirements: Product identification and instruction manuals must use Spanish, plugs must comply with the NTP 370.052 specification, and mandatory certified products must be affixed with the official S safety mark. Overseas enterprises must appoint a local Peruvian entity as an authorized representative to submit applications.
