We inform you that since January 2, 2014, ITB´s oil transformers, with a power of up to 300 kVA, are being manufactured and labeled according to the requirements of the BRAZILIAN LABELING PROGRAM, due to having complied with Steps to obtain the authorization provided for in the program. Regarding inventories of transformers of this category manufactured up to 12/31/2013 and that do not comply with these regulations, ordinance no. 104/13 of 03/22/2013, establishes the following deadlines for the commercialization / installation without the INMETRO seal :

  • Marketing by manufacturers and importers: until 06/30/2014.
