The DLMS UA and Brazilian Committee on Electricity, Electronics, Lighting and Telecommunications (Cobei) aim to foster open standards in Brazil.
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation and information exchange between the two organisations.
Under the agreement the DLMS UA and Cobei intend to work collaboratively to harmonise technical standards for the deployment of secure and reliable products and systems within Brazil’s electrical and electronic sectors.
With this the aim is to promote interoperability and best practices that enhance the efficiency and security of metering and energy management solutions, according to a statement.

“This liaison agreement marks an important milestone in our mission to drive the adoption of global open standards in Brazil,” said Sergio Lazzarotto, President and Executive Director of DLMS UA.
“By working closely with Cobei, we are strengthening our commitment to ensuring that Brazilian industries benefit from internationally recognised, secure and interoperable technologies.”
The DLMS UA is focussed on standardisation through the core Device Language Message Specification for interoperable and secure data exchange to support energy and water management.
In December 2024 the DLMS UA announced the milestone of the 2000th DLMS device certification.
The association also initiated in 2024 the concept of ‘generic companion profiles’ with selections of features and functionalities specified in the DLMS UA core specifications specifically tailored to meet the requirements of various use cases to support device interoperability.
Cobei (Comitê Brasileiro de Eletricidade, Eletrônica, Iluminação e Telecomunicações) supports and advances technical standardisation in Brazil.
José Viel, Superintendent of Cobei, said the partnership aligns perfectly with the organisation’s mission to mobilise companies and entities in the electrotechnical sector.
“We look forward to collaborating with DLMS UA to enhance Brazil’s regulatory framework and promote innovation in the sector.”
