Test Procedure

Additional Information

Appliances are graded using capital letters from "A" to "G" to indicate the energy consumption of a product. A product with the letter "A" indicates it uses energy or electricity most efficiently, while a product with a "G" grading indicates the poorest performing product in that category of products. 

The grading A-G is determined by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) and the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). It is described in the relevant standard for each electrical appliance. The minimum standards for many appliances have been adopted from the European market. This will enable products to flow freely between the continents without having to be re-tested and relabelled. 

All products that are legally imported or produced in South Africa carry the Energy Star, which will be visible in the bottom right corner of the appliance.

Energy efficiency labels for appliances were introduced in May 2005 as voluntary labels and became mandatory approximately 18-24 months after implementation.
