The notified Resolution delays the entry into force of the technical regulation to 1 December 2027, in consideration of the need to review and clarify the technical requirements applicable to conversion workshops and related products.

This decision has been adopted based on technical analysis and working sessions conducted with the regulated sector.__________
The notified text issues the Technical Regulation that workshops are to comply with in their procedures for converting and maintaining systems using compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for vehicles. It also applies to manufacturers, importers and marketers of the equipment used to adapt, transform, convert and maintain such systems. The Technical Regulation seeks to protect human life and health through technical performance and safety requirements for workshops that convert and maintain systems using vehicular gas, and for the equipment and procedures used in this process. It also seeks to prevent practices that could deceive consumers. G/TBT/N/COL/269 - 2 - The Technical Regulation applies not only to workshops that convert vehicle fuel systems, and the procedures they follow, but also to workshops that maintain dedicated vehicles, the maintenance and servicing of such vehicles, and fuel system conversion (natural gas, LPG for motor vehicles) equipment that is manufactured in, imported into or marketed in Colombia.
