PRODUCT CERTIFICATION DEPARTMENT IS INVITED BY THE REGULATORY BODY RESPONSIBLE FOR STANDARDS IN THE ELECTRICITY AND FUEL SECTORS TO INTEGRATE THREE GROUPS.
The STIHL’s Product Certification department was invited by Chile’s Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels (SEC), the regulatory body responsible for overseeing standards in the electricity and fuel sectors, to participate in three technical committees. “This is the first time we have receive such an invitation, which demonstrates recognition of our efforts and the positive impact of our work in the country,” emphasizes Dr. Alexandra Janine Schuh, Product Certification Supervisor.
With this participation, STIHL will have the opportunity to contribute to the development and review of resolution projects submitted by the SEC. “We thank Emaresa for their support, which was essential in strengthening our relationship with the regulatory body and achieving such an opportunity,” adds Marcela Paim, LATAM Regulatory Affairs Analyst, who was present in the country.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTICIPATING IN TECHNICAL COMMITTEES
Alexandra explains that participating in technical committees is a significant milestone, as it positions STIHL as a key player in discussions that shape market regulation. “In these meetings, we have the opportunity to review, suggest modifications, and influence the formulation of regulations that will directly impact the sector and our product portfolio. This allows us not only to defend our interests but, also to ensure that the regulations are fair and technically feasible, minimizing risks and costs associated with future adjustments,” she states.
The current work in Chile addresses 26 combustion products, including chainsaws, brush cutters, and sprayers. “Our presence in the committees will be crucial to ensure that regulatory requirements take our perspectives and capabilities into account. Products like chainsaws, which already have certification, will have their resolution reviewed, while brush cutters and sprayers will require certification for the first time. STIHL’s participation will be essential to ensure that our views are considered from the beginning, helping us prepare for the new demands of the Chilean market,” highlights Alexandra.
“In these meetings, we have the opportunity to review, suggest modifications, and influence the formulation of regulations that will directly impact the sector and our product portfolio.”
