The Energy Efficiency Label.. all what you want to know about it

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) enforced manufacturers and importers to comply with the requirements of the Saudi standards for energy efficiency, which included changing and standardizing the form of energy efficiency labels on electrical appliances.

Since September 2019, the circulation of old labels in the markets was prevented,

SASO noted that the new labels have become in the form of seven levels showing

the ability of the appliance to rationalize energy consumption.

SASO asked consumers to use Verify application, which enables them to verify

the validity of the labels, by using the scan feature for QR code of energy efficiency

labels, so the label information is verified by comparing the data shown on

the application with the data shown on the label.

In case of non-confirming information, the consumer may use the reporting

feature and move directly to the application of the Ministry of Commerce and Investment.

 

Purpose of Energy Efficiency Label:

• This step came within the efforts of the Saudi Energy Efficiency Program, to ensure monitoring and compliance with specific standards to rationalize energy consumption in the Kingdom.
• Responding to the requirements of the updated Saudi standards for electrical appliances, and in preparation for unifying the form and identity of energy efficiency label for all those appliances so that the consumer can see the energy efficiency rates for each product easily and simply.
