Tuesday, October 16, 2018 The Representatives of the National Secretariat of Energy (SNE) said that as part of the new regulation, air conditioners, central type, window, inverter and split should have a special label, in Spanish language. See "Air Conditioning Market Equipment in I Quarter 2018" Jose Ivan Cadogan, lawyer of the SNE, informed to Elcapitalfinanciero.com that "... From December, companies must comply with two aspects. One is that all their merchandise is labeled in Spanish, indicate the equipment consumption, have information about the importer, product type, brand, model, cooling capacity, power and savings." Cadogan added that "... They must also have a certificate that is intended to guarantee that this equipment comply with the energy efficiency indexes. Importing companies have had to request their manufacturers the new labeling, because now Panama has an energy efficiency standard that must meet the equipment entering the country."
