The importance of Energy Efficiency Tests
This test modality has been applied worldwide due to its social relevance because it deals with energy rationalization, and, consequently, protect the consumer and also the environment.
The concern with energy efficiency tests can be seen by the creation of several programs in the countries, one of the best known worldwide is carried out by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, created since 1992, a voluntary labeling program, called ENERGY STAR®, where they started only with monitors and computers and currently have several types of products, some of which can be mentioned, such as: home appliances, lighting equipment, industrial and commercial equipment.
In Brazil, through INMETRO, it created the Energy Efficiency Label and currently the performance of energy efficiency tests is mandatory for several types of products.
