 TÍTULO: Programa de ahorro de energía para productos de consumo y determinados equipos comerciales e industriales: propuesta adicional de incluir en el campo de aplicación del reglamento 
diversos productos de refrigeración 
ORGANISMO: Oficina de Eficiencia Energética y Energía Renovable del Departamento de Energía MEDIDA: Aviso de propuesta de reglamentación; av iso adicional de un proyecto de caracterización 
de productos 
RESUMEN: El Departamento de Energía (DOE) de los Estados Unidos propone establecer que 
determinados productos de refrigeración (MREF, por las iniciales en inglés) (enfriadores y 
combinados enfriador-refrigerador) están abarcados por las disposiciones de la parte A del Título 
III de la Ley de Política Energética y Ahorro de Energía (EPCA), modificada. El aviso adicional de caracterización de productos modifica la lista de productos MREF definida inicialmente por el DOE, en su primera propuesta de caracterización de productos. En este contexto, el DOE propone 
igualmente definiciones específicas de las categorías de productos que serán considerados MREF. 
Por otra parte, el DOE propone modificar las definiciones vigentes de refrigerador, refrigerador-congelador y congelador, a fin de aclarar las diferencias con las definiciones propuestas de los 
productos incluidos en la categoría MREF. La propuestas de modificación de definiciones (de 
refrigerador, refrigerador-congelador y congelador) no modificarían el campo abarcado por las definiciones vigentes, excepto para los combinados enfriador-refrigerador que quedarían incluidos 
en adelante. 
FECHAS: el DOE aceptará observaciones, datos e información relativos al aviso notificado, hasta el 
4 de abril de 2016 inclusive. 
Las definiciones y el campo de aplicación propuestos en el documento notificado serán aplicables 
30 días después de la publicación de una caracterización definitiva de los productos abarcados en 
el Federal Register. Pasado ese plazo, los productos incluidos en la categoría MREF quedarán sujetos a todos los ensayos y las normas de ahorro de energía previstas para esa categoría de 
productos.

La communication ci-après, datée du 7 février 2014, est distribuée à la demande de la délégation 
du Chili.  
_______________ 
 
 Eu égard à la Décision du Comité de l'évalua tion en douane sur l'évaluation des supports 
informatiques de logiciels destinés à des équipements de traitement des données, le Chili informe 
le Comité, conformément au paragraphe 3 de ladite décision, qu'il applique cette décision depuis le 
14 mars 2006. 
 
Conformément à la Décision 4.1 du Comité de l'évaluation en douane de l'OMC, les règles 
régissant l'évaluation des supports informatiques de logiciels destinés à des équipements de traitement des données sont énoncées au chapitre II, sous-chapitre II, section 13, intitulée 
"Évaluation en douane des marchandises – Cas particuliers" du Décret n° 1.300, en particulier 
dans les sous-sections suivantes:  
- 13.1. Aux fins de la détermination de la valeur en douane des supports informatiques 
importés comportant des données ou des instructions, il ne sera tenu compte que du coût ou de la valeur du support informatique proprement dit. La valeur en douane ne comprendra 
donc pas le coût ou la valeur du programme informatique qu'il contient, qui devra être 
distingué(e) du coût ou de la valeur du support physique. 
 L'expression "support informatique" ne désigne pa s les circuits intégrés, les semi-conducteurs et 
les dispositifs similaires ou les articles comportant de tels circuits ou dispositifs. De même, 
l'expression "données ou instructions" ne s'entend ni des enregistrements sonores, ni des enregistrements cinématographiques, ni des enregistrements vidéo. 
 
- 13.2. Cependant, la règle d'évaluation susmentionnée ne s'appliquera pas aux "programmes 
de base", à savoir ceux qui sont indispensables au fonctionnement d'un équipement de 
traitement des données, étant donné que la valeur de ces programmes est comprise dans le 
prix de l'ordinateur qui constitue, pour les besoins de l'évaluation en douane, une seule et même marchandise.
