Singapore Market Access for Energy Efficiency Requirement

The National Environment Agency (NEA) actively promotes energy efficiency in the industry, household, and public sectors through legislation, incentives, and public education.

Mandatory Energy Labeling (MELS) and Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) help improve the energy efficiency of a range of household appliances. 

Any importer and manufacturer that intends to supply any “Regulated Goods” in Singapore must apply to the NEA to be a “Registered Supplier”. 

The Registered Suppliers who import or manufacture the following Regulated Goods are required to register such goods with the NEA before they are supplied in Singapore:

• Air-conditioners

• Clothes Dryers

• Lamps

• Refrigerators

• Televisions

• Motors

The NEA has announced 4 enhancements to MELS and MEPS which will take effect from November 1, 2019:

• Raising of MEPS for incandescent bulbs

• Introduction of MEPS for fluorescent lamp ballasts

• Introduction of MELS for other lamps types

• Mandatory display of Energy Label in publicity materials

Registration shall be made online using the ELS Online Portal. Registered suppliers shall maintain a technical file for each registered model throughout the validity period of the Certificate of Registration (COR). The technical file must be in English.

The Energy Label shall be affixed only after the National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued the Certificate of Registration (COR) for the model.

Example of Energy Label for Air-conditioners, Refrigerators, Clothes Dryers, and Televisions:
