TÜV Rheinland Hong Kong has been designated by the Yemen Standardization, Metrology & Quality Control Organization (YSMO) as a Notified Body for Energy Efficiency Labeling for air conditioners.

This designation enables TÜV Rheinland to provide technical approval and registration services to manufacturers and importers. This follows TÜV Rheinland’s previous approval as an energy efficiency notified body in Oman and Bahrain, further solidifying its expertise in the energy efficiency sector.

The implementation date for Yemen's energy efficiency regulations is set for 1 October 2024, with assessment standards aligned with those in Oman, specifically GSO 2530:2016. Products subject to these regulations must undergo energy efficiency registration and obtain the corresponding energy efficiency label, which is valid for a period of two years.

In addition to energy efficiency, TÜV Rheinland is also recognized as a conformity assessment body for the Gulf G-mark and low voltage products in Oman.
