Starting from January 1, 2025, the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center declared that dishwashers at all points of sale in the Kingdom must carry energy efficiency cards.

Main information on the energy efficiency card will be the type, model, brand, electrical energy consumption, and test criteria of the dishwasher. The SEEC advises consumers to make sure the card is there when they buy a dishwasher and to use the "Balagh Tijari" tool to report any absent labels, This project complements Saudi Arabia's more general aims of enhancing Kingdomwide energy usage patterns.

Awareness Program for Energy Consumption

Working with several government agencies including 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 SEEC started an 11-day awareness campaign to support the rollout. Building on the National Campaign for Rationalizing Energy Consumption, which has been running since 2014, this one targets

The goals of the campaign are to inform consumers on the required energy efficiency card and its importance in guiding their appliance purchase. It underlines the need of choosing dishwashers with better efficiency ratings, marked on the card by a "green level". Customers are urged to utilize the "Taakad" government app, which checks Saudi Arabia's energy efficiency labels and quality marks for legitimacy. Through wise buying habits, people can help to lower household energy use generally.

Encouraging Strategies for Energy Saving

Apart from imposing the required labeling, the campaign provides instructional messaging regarding good practices that can help to lower dishwasher energy consumption, These contain suggestions for best use including operating dishwashers only with full loads, choosing energy-saving modes, and routine maintenance to guarantee effective functioning.

Originally founded in 2010, the SEEC is committed to optimizing energy use and improving energy efficiency across Saudi Arabia's manufacturing and consuming sectors, Working together with many partners, the center implements policies, standards, and awareness campaigns supporting the Kingdom's sustainability and energy saving objective.

Consumer Authority and Environmental Effects

The energy efficiency card for dishwashers underlines Saudi Arabia's dedication to arming customers with the knowledge to enable ecologically conscious decisions, Making energy efficiency statistics easily available not only helps people save their own energy expenses but also supports the Kingdom's attempts to lower its carbon impact.

The SEEC's project is a part of greater effort to conform to world energy consumption guidelines and promote sustainability in culture, By means of public participation and government agency cooperation, the SEEC keeps propelling advancement toward a more energy-efficient future.
