Registration of Registrable Goods


Registered suppliers who import or manufacture registrable goods are required to register such goods with NEA before they are supplied in Singapore.

How to Register

Application for registration shall be made online. For air-conditioners, the application can be made here and for refrigerators, the application can be made here. The following information and documents are required for registration:

  • Registered Supplier ID
  • Test report
  • Letter of authorization, if the registration is made by an appointed third-party

The application must also be accompanied by the registration fee.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome via email within 5 working days. If the registration is successful, the following will be included in the email:

  • Electronic copy of the Certificate of Registration
  • Softcopy of the Energy Label and instructions on how to edit and print it

Technical File

Registered suppliers shall maintain a technical file for each registered model during the validity period of the COR. The technical file, which shall be in English, shall contain the following documents pertaining to the registered model:

Upon request, the technical file shall be made available to NEA within 5 working days.

Registration by an Appointed Third-Party

Registered suppliers can appoint a third-party to register their registrable goods on their behalf. For such a case, a letter of authorization from the registered supplier is to be submitted by the third-party representative at the point of registration.

Renewal of Registration

A registered model’s COR is valid for 3 years. Registered suppliers who wish to continue supplying a registered model beyond the validity of the COR must apply to renew the COR 2 weeks before it expires. Renewal of the registration of a registered model shall be made online at www.nea.gov.sg.

Registration of Family of Models

A family of models can be registered in a single application. Models are considered to be from the same “family” if they are identical but have different physical characteristics that do not affect their energy efficiency e.g. color and finishing.

Addition of New Model to An Existing Family of Registered Models

If a new model is to be added to an existing family of registered models, and the test report of the existing family of models is applicable to the new model, the registered supplier shall notify NEA to include the new model under the registration of the existing family of models. The notification shall be done online at www.nea.gov.sg.

Modification to Registered Model Without Change of Model Number

If a registered model is modified without a change in model number, the registered supplier shall notify NEA of the modification before the modified model is supplied in Singapore. The notification shall be made online at www.nea.gov.sg. The registered supplier shall also maintain a record of the modification in the technical file for the registered model.

If the modification changes the energy efficiency of the registered model, the registered supplier shall also submit a test report showing the energy efficiency of the modified model.

Modification to Registered Model Resulting in Change of Model Number

A registered model has to be re-registered if the model number is changed, regardless of whether its energy efficiency has changed.

Verification Testing

NEA will from time to time carry out verification testing (VT) on registered models to verify that the energy performance of the registered model as declared by the registered supplier is within the allowable tolerance. More details on verification testing are available here.
