The UAE's ECAS energy efficiency certification system has recent important updates concerning the conformity mark, energy efficiency label, and testing standards for some products. Below is a summary of the core new regulations and key information as of November 2025.
Core Changes in UAE ECAS Energy Efficiency Certification New Regulations:
Detailed Interpretation & Operational Guidelines for New Regulations:
1.Specific Requirements for the New Mark: When using the new ECAS LVE conformity mark, ensure its size is no less than 3 cm x 1.5 cm, always maintaining a 1:2 ratio, and is clearly visible. The mark should be placed in a prominent position on the front or bottom left of the product.
2.Unchanged Certification Process: This update primarily concerns the mark's appearance and some standards; the entire ECAS certification process and framework remain unchanged. You still need to follow the original steps for product testing, document preparation, and submission through a body recognized by ESMA.
3.Focus on the Energy Label: For high-energy-consumption products like air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines, in addition to the conformity mark, the UAE energy efficiency label (EESL) must be affixed, clearly displaying the energy efficiency grade (usually 1-5 stars) and other information.
Important Reminders:
1.Transition Period Ending Soon: As of November 2025, the transition period for the old and new marks has fully ended. All products, whether newly exported or already on the market, must use the new conformity mark and energy efficiency label.
2.Ensure Use of Latest Standards for Testing: If your product falls under IT equipment or audio/video products, when preparing test reports, be sure to confirm with the laboratory that the latest IEC 62368-1:2018 or 2023 edition standards are used to avoid report rejection.
We hope this information helps you fully understand the new regulations for the UAE ECAS energy efficiency certification. If you can inform us of the specific product categories involved, BLUEASIA can provide more targeted standard information.
