Energy Efficiency Program Updates for Saudi Arabia (SASO)

Preparing for easier market access in the Middle East

Gabriella Mazzola – Global Market Access Engineering Leader, Convenor of Working Group 3 of GSO Notified Bodies Cooperation Group for Low Voltage Regulation

The Middle East market is often appealing for manufacturers around the world, but navigating the regulatory landscape and cultural differences in day-to-day business can be intimidating. UL, as a GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) notified body, helps global manufacturers navigate the market with ease. As part of our effort to ensure our customers remain informed, we continuously monitor and participate in the global regulatory environment.

Earlier this year, The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) published new Energy Efficiency (EE) standards for Saudi Arabia related to refrigerating appliances, washing machines, clothes dryers and water heaters, and updated the standard for household air conditioners. The new standards introduced new Energy Efficiency Classes under a new letter-based system, Minimum Efficiency Performance Standards (MEPS), and labeling requirements.

More recently, however, SASO announced that the Saudi Product Safety Program (SALEEM) will replace the current Saudi Conformity Assessment program (SASO CoC) scheme and will operate via the new Saber system, SASO’s electronic service created to facilitate the process of entering goods and products to the Saudi market.

UL Certification Offices in EU, USA and China remain SASO authorized Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) in the new SALEEM scheme and are officially accredited in the SABER system to issue Type Approval Certificates of Conformity and Shipment Certificates of Conformity.

The mandatory implementation schedule is still to be officially confirmed by SASO, but an announcement is planned for December 1st 2018. Until that time, products submitted for compliance to the Saudi Energy Efficiency program should be evaluated to the SASO standards specified in the below table.

Air Conditioners SASO 2663/2014 SASO 2663/2018 16th August, 2018
  • Scope: capacity decreased from 70,000 Btu/h (20 kW) to 65,000 Btu/h (19 kW)

Washing Machines SASO 2692/2013 SASO 2885/2018 16th August, 2018
  • Scope: capacity increased from 12 kg to 25 kg
  • Added water consumption requirement
Clothes Dryers N/A SASO 2883/2017 5th July, 2018

  • Scope: electric storage water heaters, instantaneous electric water heaters, heat pump water heaters, solar water heaters, storage tanks (up to 2,000 liters) and fuel gas water heaters (up to 300 liters)

IMPORTANT DATES:

1st July, 2018 – New EE labels will be required to issue a SASO Certificate of Conformity. Manufacturers intending to ship products into Saudi Arabia must have them tested by a testing laboratory registered with SASO. The report and required documentation must then be submitted to register these products for the new EE Label.

1st October, 2018 – Saudi customs will stop accepting products bearing the old EE label.

1st September, 2019 – Products bearing the old EE label shall be removed from market.

Stay Informed with UL

UL continues to monitor the Saudi Energy Efficiency standards as test methods move toward finalization. In addition to providing testing and certification for appliances in accredited laboratories registered with SASO, we keep our customers aware of changes by becoming one trusted source of compliance information and support the registration process for obtaining the new EE Labels. UL is also a SASO Notified Body, allowing us to verify compliance, deliver the CoC, and streamline customs clearance. Read more >
