Saudi Arabia: New Energy efficiency regulation

The Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organisation (SASO) published its Board Decision 12922, subject of General Energy Efficiency and Safety Requirements in the Official Gazette on August 24, 2018.

Technical Regulation 12922 supersedes the older version, number 946 published on October 14, 2016. The changes mainly affect the energy efficiency label and the content of annex (1) of the regulation. The said annex contains a list of obligatory technical standards, some of which had already been obligatory and in force prior to the publication of the technical regulation (12922).

Annex (1) of the regulation will be updated regularly by SASO.
