Recently, Fuxin Office found that a batch of exported LED lights were returned due to the new SASO energy efficiency regulations in Saudi Arabia during the export return shipment survey. It is understood that on February 10, 2016, the Saudi Standard Measurement Quality Organization (SASO) and the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center issued the "SASO 2870/2015: Energy Efficiency, Function and Labeling Requirements for Lighting Products" technical regulations for lighting products, which are specified in the standards. The export of lighting products to Saudi Arabia must meet the energy certification requirements. SASO 2870/2015 specifies the requirements for energy efficiency, functionality, labeling and energy efficiency labeling of statutory lighting products. The standards also require safety, electromagnetic compatibility and toxic and hazardous substances limits for light source products. Products within the scope of this standard implement new energy efficiency requirements in three phases due to different power levels. Since May 1, 2016, all kinds of directional and non-directional light bulbs with rated power of 60W and above have been included in the scope of control. Manufacturers or exporters of light source products need to confirm that their products meet the requirements of SASO2870 before exporting, and register at the Saudi Standards Bureau to apply for an energy efficiency certificate and apply the corresponding energy efficiency rating label on the product. All products within the scope of the standard requirements will be inspected for the label and registration certificate when they arrive at the Saudi Customs. All kinds of directional and non-directional light bulbs with rated power below 60W have been included in the control range since May 1, 2017. Such products require a SASO energy efficiency registration certificate or they will be banned from importing to Saudi Arabia. At this stage, it is clearly required that the product conformity certification (COC) organization in the catalogue should check the product in compliance with the energy efficiency labeling requirements, and refuse to issue the Saudi COC certificate for products that do not meet the relevant requirements. The third phase will be implemented from January 1, 2019. After investigation, the reason for the return of the LED lights exported in my jurisdiction was mainly due to the fact that the packaging of the energy-saving labels was not displayed on the outer packaging and was prohibited from being imported by Saudi Arabian customs. Here, the Shaoxing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminds all LED light export enterprises to pay close attention to the latest release of Saudi Arabia's technical regulations, obtain SAS energy efficiency licenses in a timely manner, and apply energy-efficient labels according to standard requirements to avoid the risk of return shipments.
