Energy efficiency card is mandatory for dishwashers at all points of sale in Saudi Arabia from January 1

The Saudi Energy Efficiency Center has announced that energy efficiency cards will be required for dishwashers at all points of sale in the Kingdom beginning January 1, 2025. The center urged consumers interested in purchasing this type of device to confirm that the energy efficiency card label is included with the dishwasher and to notify the center via the Balagh Tijari app if it is not. The card contains basic device information such as the kind, model, brand, electrical energy consumption, and test specifications.

On Wednesday, the center launched a campaign to increase awareness about the energy efficiency card for dishwashers in collaboration with many government institutions that work together to improve energy usage in the Kingdom. These organizations include the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO), and the Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority.

The 11-day campaign is an outgrowth of the center's awareness activities, which began in 2014 under the name National Campaign for Rationalizing Energy Consumption.
