Iran: Energy Efficiency Labeling of Energy Consuming Products

This includes labeling for refrigerators/freezers, evaporative coolers, centrifugal pumps, and washing machines and minmum energy perforamance standards and testing. The label is based on the European label design due to the market and manufacturer links with Europe(although it is a mirror image and has Persian script). The Standards and Industrial Research Organization of Iran administrates the program. Energy efficiency ratings are based on random selection and testing of the products, according to the established standard performance test procedures at the Standards Organization laboratories. Companies do use the energy label as a marketing tool and run national TV commercials showing their standards’ compliance although there is currently no penalty imposed on products with no energy label.
