Energy efficiency is underpinned through various activities implemented from public policies and private initiatives. One of these activities is the conformity assessment and its with the quality infrastructure of the countries. As confidence in energy efficiency actions increases, so does the assurance on the energy saving results generated. In this qualitative study, the quality infrastructure is analyzed with a view to strengthening energy efficiency for the Ecuadorian case through a disaggregation of legal attributions, areas of support for the public sector and conformity assessment mechanisms. The results show that energy efficiency policies require a priority action from the country's accrediting body, as well as the participation of certification bodies for both product and management systems.
