Singapore - Energy Conservation (Regulated Goods and Registered Suppliers) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2021
Business description
Singapore’s Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) was introduced in 2011 to raise the average energy efficiency of regulated goods such as air-conditioners, clothes dryers, lamps, refrigerators, and televisions on the market.
From January 1, 2022, the MEPS for refrigerators, clothes dryers and air-conditioners will be raised as part of Singapore’s ongoing efforts to improve household energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. New standby power requirements will also be introduced for split type air-conditioners. Accordingly, the existing Energy Conservation (Regulated Goods and Registered Suppliers) Regulations 2017 will be amended to revise the MEPS and standby power requirements for these appliances.
A transitional period of 1 year, from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 will also be provided to allow existing MEPS requirements to continue to apply to goods which are: (i) imported into or manufactured in Singapore before January 1, 2022; or (ii) imported into or manufactured in Singapore on or after January 1, 2022 and supplied under an agreement entered into before Januar 1, 2022.
Proposed date of adoption: Notice will be published prior to the date of entry into force
Proposed date of entry into force: January 1, 2022
Final date for comments: December 25, 2021
