Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)

Energy Efficiency Service (Energy Efficiency Ratio – EER)

At Raqabah Inspection, Testing and Certification, we provide Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) assessment services for electrical and electronic products. Our objective is to verify the operational efficiency of devices and ensure reduced energy consumption in accordance with applicable technical regulations and standards in GCC markets—particularly the Saudi market.

Product quality assurance

Facilitating import procedures

Boosting consumer confidence

Energy efficiency is a key regulatory requirement for many appliances, especially air conditioning systems, refrigeration units, and other high-energy-consuming electrical devices.

Objective of EER Services

Our energy efficiency services aim to:
Measure the energy efficiency of electrical appliances

Ensure compliance with energy efficiency requirements

Support regulatory compliance in GCC markets

Reduce energy consumption and improve operational performance

Enable products to obtain required regulatory approvals

What is the EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio)?

The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is a performance indicator used to measure how efficiently a device utilizes electrical energy. It is calculated by comparing the cooling capacity or output performance of a device with the electrical energy it consumes.
A higher EER value indicates greater energy efficiency and lower power consumption.

Scope of Products Covered
Our EER assessment services cover a wide range of products, including:
Air conditioning units (Split / Window / Central AC systems)
Refrigeration and cooling appliances
Household electrical appliances
High-energy-consuming electrical equipment
Any products subject to energy efficiency regulations
Energy Efficiency Standards and Regulations
EER evaluations are conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory frameworks, including:
Energy efficiency technical regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
SASO requirements for electrical appliances
Conformity systems under the SABER platform
Relevant international standards (IEC / ISO depending on the product)
Requirements for EER Assessment
To conduct an energy efficiency evaluation, the following are typically required:


Technical specifications of the device


Product model or sample


Operating and energy consumption data


Product catalog or user manual


Previous test reports (if available)
Service Workflow

Receiving the energy efficiency assessment request
Reviewing technical specifications of the device
