How Much Does RETIE Certification Cost in 2024?

We break down the factors that determine the cost of a RETIE certification: installation type, square meters, electrical system complexity, and location.

1Factors That Determine Cost

The cost of a RETIE certification is not a fixed value. It depends on multiple variables: the type of installation (residential, commercial, or industrial), the built area, the complexity of the electrical system, and the geographic location, which affects travel costs for the technical team.

2Investment Ranges by Installation Type

For residential installations up to 200 m², RETIE certification costs approximately between COP $1,200,000 and $2,500,000. Commercial installations from 200 to 1,000 m² range between COP $2,500,000 and $5,000,000. Complex industrial installations may require investments from COP $5,000,000 to $20,000,000.

3What Is Included in the Cost?

The RETIE certification cost includes: technical inspection visit, document review, electrical field testing, preparation of the technical report, review by the Certification Committee, and issuance of the official certificate valid for 2 years.

4Additional Costs to Consider

Beyond the certification cost, there may be associated investments in installation upgrades. Items such as replacing undersized cables, updating protections, or improving grounding systems can represent additional costs.
