Belize, one of the piloting countries for the CARICOM Energy Efficiency (CEE) Labels, has been working on activities to develop its capabilities to implement its national scheme. In this regard, the BBS continues carrying out activities to develop Belize’s Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme. In collaboration with the Lait Up Belize project through funding by the European Union, BBS is being supported in its communication and visibility initiatives and in capacity-building initiatives to strengthen the department’s capabilities to implement this scheme properly.
In this regard, the Quality Institute Bureau of Standards Jamaica (QI BSJ) is training the team from Belize from the 18 to 22nd March 2024. This training is designed to enhance the participants’ understanding and application of standard requirements critical for the effective testing and certification of energy-efficient air conditioning and refrigeration appliances.
This initiative is part of Lait Up Belize’s commitment to support the successful implementation of the Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme (EELS) pilot program in Belize, aimed at promoting energy conservation and sustainability.
