Colombia - Resolution No. 40286 of June 23, 2026 Amending the Technical Regulations on Lights and Street Lighting (RETILAP)

Business description

The Ministry of Mines and Energy updates the overarching technical regulation for lighting systems and products.

The updates structurally optimize RETILAP's four primary books to fix editorial syntax error points, formalize baseline technical terminology, clarify specific product exclusions, and strategically simplify compliance testing metrics.

It mandates full execution milestones, stopping standard product and installation inspections under older parameters as of January 1, 2026, while creating precise regulatory grace periods stretching until mid-2027 for specialized inspector qualifications.
