Indonesia introduces MEPS and energy labels for three home appliances

On September 20, Indonesian government established three ministerial decisions stipulating the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and energy efficiency labels for refrigerators, fans, and rice cookers. These decisions will come into effect 12 months after the date of establishment. Each decision stipulates the scope of regulated products, exemptions, test methods, design of the energy-efficiency label, energy efficiency rating criteria, MEPS, and others. Energy efficiency labels indicate the products’ energy performance, starting from one star corresponding to MEPS, and going up to five stars. Energy efficiency labeling on imported products must be completed in the country of origin.

These Decisions are subordinate to the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 14/2021 on Application of Minimum Energy Performance Standards to Energy Consuming Equipment.
