Regulations on Energy Labelling and Minimum Energy Performance Requirements for Air Conditioners

Source: International Energy Agency
Last updated: 27 July 2020

This regulation specifies the energy labelling requirements and the Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) requirements for single-package (such as window type) and split-system non-ducted air conditioners using air- and water-cooled condensers and heat pumps employing air-cooled condensers and ducted air-conditioners using air-to-air heat pumps for residential, commercial and industrial sector as applicable in accordance with Bahrain standards.



 



The MEPS are set as follows:



 



Starting from July 2016




  • Window type AC:


    • 18000 > CC:


      • EER at T1: 8.5

      • EER at T3: 6.12


    • 18000 = CC < 24000


      • EER at T1: 8.5

      • EER at T3: 6.12


    • CC = 24000


      • EER at T1: 8.5

      • EER at T3: 6.12



  • Split type and other types:



      • EER at T1: 9.5

      • EER at T3: 6.84





 



Starting from July 2017




  • Window type AC:


    • 18000 > CC:


      • EER at T1:  9.8

      • EER at T3: 7.06


    • 18000 = CC < 24000


      • EER at T1: 9.7

      • EER at T3: 6.98


    • CC = 24000


      • EER at T1: 8.5

      • EER at T3: 6.12



  • Split type and other types:



      • EER at T1: 11.5

      • EER at T3: 8.28





 



Moreover, the information contained in the label shall include the Energy Efficiency Ratio, the Coefficient of Performance and  the refrigerant type.
