The Scheme also includes the Singapore Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme where four checks on the label designate the level of energy efficiency and savings in annual power consumption.

Date Implemented: 1992

Status: In Force; Voluntary

Funding Information: Product owners who wish to join the labeling scheme must pay a $300 fee per product/model for the first 3 years and a $200 for each subsequent renewal of the 3yr endorsement.
