Cotecna supports Air Conditioner (AC) exporters to Bahrain in meeting mandatory Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) regulations through rigorous documentation review, technical verification, and fast, reliable certification.
Bahrain’s Testing and Metrology Directorate (BTMD) mandates that all imported AC units comply with minimum Energy Efficiency Rating (EER). Cotecna is a Notified Body for Bahrain BTMD, providing manufacturers and exporters with expert guidance to navigate the country’s EER requirements.
Air conditioners that meet the required standards receive an official Energy Efficiency Label, enabling authorities and consumers to verify compliance and compare performance across models. The BTMD also maintains a national registry of certified products, accessible via the Bahraini Energy Efficiency Platform, which lists approved products.
