Kuwait - Energy Efficiency Label

Ensure mandatory Energy Efficiency Labeling of your products in Kuwait with our services

Kuwait’s Public Authority for Industry (PAI) operates an Energy Efficiency Registration System (EERS) for direct expansion (DX) air conditioners with capacities up to 70,000 BTU/h. Manufacturers and retailers must ensure DX air conditioners comply with the local Kuwait KWS 1893:2018 standard and undergo the PAI registration procedure.

Starting from October 8th, 2024, four additional product groups are required to fulfill energy efficiency requirements as described in local Kuwaiti standards:

Rotating electrical machines (KWS 1897:2023)
Electric Clothes Driers (KWS 1898:2023)
Electric Clothes Washing Machines (KWS 1899:2023)
Refrigerators, refrigerators-freezers and freezers (KWS 1900:2023)

Energy efficiency registration is a prerequisite for the clearance of your shipments of energy efficient products at Kuwaiti borders. As an authorized inspection and certification body for the KUCAS Scheme, TÜV Rheinland issues mandatory Technical Inspection Reports (TIRs) and can handle as well the required EER approval of your regulated product. Our experts help you fulfill all relevant Kuwaiti technical requirements, thus ensuring your products entry to the market. Contact us for a quote !
