Time：

2024-06-24

Five East African countries issued a notice to revise the DEAS 1213:2024 Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Air Conditioning Equipment and the DEAS 1214:2024 Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Refrigeration Equipment.

On June 11, 2024, the five East African countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda) issued a notice to revise the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Air Conditioning Equipment (DEAS 1213:2024) and the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Refrigeration Equipment (DEAS 1214:2024).

1. DEAS 1213:2024 "Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Air Conditioning Equipment"

This draft stipulates the minimum energy efficiency and energy labeling requirements for any electric non ducted individual air-cooled air conditioner, air to air reversible heat pump, and portable air conditioner with a rated refrigeration output power of 16 kW on the market.

This standard does not apply to:

1. Water cooled air conditioning;

2. Water source heat pump;

3. Split type air conditioning;

4. Split air to air heat pump;

5. Variable refrigerant flow system;

6. Pipeline equipment and non electric energy.

2. DEAS 1214:2024 "Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Household and Similar Refrigeration Equipment"

This draft specifies the minimum energy efficiency and energy labeling requirements for AC single-phase (220-240V, 50Hz) and three-phase (380-415V, 50Hz) steam compression refrigeration equipment (i.e. refrigerators, freezers, and freezers) with a rated capacity of 10L to 1500L for household and similar purposes.

This standard does not apply to:

1. Wine storage equipment;

2. Mobile refrigeration equipment;

3. The main function is not to store food through refrigeration equipment;

4. Refrigeration equipment powered by energy sources other than electricity;

5. Other refrigeration equipment different from steam compression type.
