There will be 3 major differences between the old SASO 2664:2013 and the new standard

Product classification

Energy consumption calculation method

Testing method

Has been changed from design-oriented classifications to customer/end-user oriented classification

Is now based on the annual energy consumption and produces a relative index as opposed to an absolute number used in the previous standard. This method is in line with European regulations.

Is now following the international standard (IEC 62552-3:2007) with different temperature settings depending on product classification

During Change(Mid 2018-

Beginning of 2019)

- Disseminating campaign messages through Takkad app, social media accounts of Ministry of Commerce, Call Center and “how to read the label” infographics to inform public that there is a new label for appliances along with the old label

Second Campaign

(Mass-Beginning of 2019)

- Kingdom-wide mass media campaign using all media and advertisement channels including outdoor advertisements, TV, Radio, Newspapers, social and digital media

- The mass media campaign will include exhibits, interviews, and reports

- The mass media campaign will target consumers to educate them about the new labels and how to benefit from them
