SASO Energy Efficiency Label registration (Saudi EER)

SASO EER system, It is labeling that aims to educate the consumers and give them the ability to compare all electrical devices against their efficiency in the consumption of electrical energy before purchasing them to help them in choosing the device with the best performance and the lowest consumption of electrical energy.

After registration, the label reflects the efficiency of electrical energy consumption at different levels so that the green color represents the highest levels of devices the highest efficiency and the least consumption of electrical energy. The energy efficiency card is installed on the home electrical appliance in a clear way that enables the consumer to easily see its contents.

An energy efficiency card has been added for all devices that have issued an energy efficiency specification, and the cards show the following data:

• Product Type
• Technical data of the product
• Product QR code
• trademark
• Country of manufacture
• Model number
• Annual consumption of the product
• Energy efficiency levels, so that whenever the efficiency of the product increases, its level rises to green.

SASO Energy Efficiency labeling for Vehicles

It is called the fuel economy labeling, and it is placed for the purpose of consumer awareness of energy efficiency in light vehicles (weighing less than 3500 kg), and the efficiency of vehicles is measured through the fuel economy gauge, and it means the distance of kilometers traveled per liter of spent fuel. For the vehicle, its model, engine capacity, model year, and vehicle type are divided into two categories: passenger car labeling and light truck label, and the label contain 6 levels divided according to vehicle fuel consumption, the highest is excellent and the lowest is very bad, while the lower part is placed in which the fuel economy is written and in Arabic numbers And English, as well as the type of fuel recommended in Saudi Arabia by the manufacturer, the authority’s logo and the legal form of binding the card.

SASO Energy Efficiency Label for electrical appliances

The energy efficiency labeling for electrical appliances is placed on air-conditioning and refrigeration devices, which include “refrigerators and freezers”, in addition to washing machines, clothes dryers, heaters, and lighting. The card includes basic data about the device, such as its type, model, brand, electrical energy consumption, and test specifications, and it comes in 7 levels. The highest green is for the devices that are more efficient and have the lowest electrical energy consumption, and the lowest is red.

SASO Energy Efficiency Label for Tires

The label is issued in two types, the type of company (A) and company (b), and it contains two parts, one section that shows the amount of fuel savings achieved by the tire in question, and the other section shows the levels of grip on wet surfaces, and it is expressed in 6 levels indicated by a black indicator, the top of which is Excellent and least bad and very bad.

SASO give the license to make use of the label for the interested organization, with the below conditions:

1. The organization must be officially registered in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, as well as authorized to cope with such activities in line with Saudi Arabia regulations, or maybe it ought to be registered in SASO.
2. The item needs to be conformable with Saudi standards, and also labeling standards.
3. When The Organization applies for the license, it ought to supply some data needed by SASO for the item that’s the topic of the label and facilitate the process of acquiring a model sample to confirm the compliance of its with the standards, at the own expense of theirs.
4. The Organization declares that all data provided to SASO are actually right and under the responsibility of its, as well as providing the model to SASO – any of methods that are available (hard copy or maybe soft copy) is a pledge from the facility to do it.
5. The Organization has to spend the expense of the application to SASO.
6. The utilization of labels is only for products and models described in detail in the license, and shan’t be used for every other item or perhaps model.
