The Brazilian economic scenario promotes sustainable development by, among other actions, reducing the pressure on the expansion of electricity capacity. Furthermore, efficiency and reliability may be achieved through regulations and standardised production. From this perspective, there is a steadfast need for continuous improvement in the process of certification of products in the country. This shall apply to the energy sector, in which certifications of LED (light-emitting diode) lamps are part of the Brazilian Labelling Program (PBE), coordinated by Inmetro (Brazilian accreditation body). PBE seeks to provide technical information about the products to support consumers’ choices, stimulating industry competitiveness and improve equipment reliability. From this standpoint, this article seeks to present an analysis of the certification process of LED lamps to propose reviewing requirements into the current label which might help to change the consumers’ energy consumption-related decision-making using the multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM), TOPSIS. To this end, not only energy efficiency was observed but also other aspects of generated light quality and power quality currently considered as requirements for compulsory LED lighting certification.

巴西的经济情景通过减轻电力容量扩张的压力等措施促进可持续发展。此外，可以通过法规和标准化生产来实现效率和可靠性。从这个角度来看，国家对产品认证过程的持续改进有着坚定的需求。这适用于能源部门，其中 LED（发光二极管）灯的认证是由 Inmetro（巴西认证机构）协调的巴西标签计划 (PBE) 的一部分。PBE 寻求提供有关产品的技术信息，以支持消费者的选择，激发行业竞争力并提高设备可靠性。从这个角度来说，本文试图对 LED 灯的认证过程进行分析，以提出审查要求到当前标签中，这可能有助于改变消费者使用多标准决策方法（MCDM）的能源消耗相关决策，托普西斯。为此，不仅要观察能源效率，还要观察目前被认为是强制性 LED 照明认证要求的产生光质量和电能质量的其他方面。
