Hi, how can we help?

Air-conditioners, Refrigerators, and Clothes Dryers - Energy Labels & Tick Ratings

The National Environment Agency (NEA) is making key revisions to and/or introducing energy efficiency requirements under the Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme (MELS) and Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS). MEPS & MELS are key policies to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions from the household sector. 

The revisions apply to:

• Refrigerators

• Clothes dryers

• Casement and window air-conditioners

• Split-type air-conditioners

• Portable air-conditioner

• Televisions 

• Lamps

📍 Definition:  

• MELS provides consumers with information regarding the energy costs of certain energy-consuming appliances. 

• MEPS raises the average energy efficiency of products in the market by prohibiting the supply of the least efficient models.
