UAE launches interior lighting environmental standards

Recently, the United Arab Emirates National Quality Standards Agency (ESMA) and its important strategic partner UAE “Ecological Footprint Planning Organization” jointly announced that it will introduce new standards for indoor lighting, and promote the use of energy-saving lighting equipment for residents and businesses.

It is reported that after the implementation of the new standard, the UAE market will introduce lighting products with good safety, reliable quality, and energy-efficient. With immediate effect, the UAE National Bureau of Quality Standards will start a six-month standard implementation phase and will coordinate with stakeholders, manufacturers, retailers and other departments.

This move will effectively reduce the UAE's carbon emissions, reduce energy waste, and promote the UAE’s ecological footprint plan. The UAE’s energy consumption continues to advance toward economic environmental protection. By that time, UAE’s electricity consumption will be reduced by 340 to 500 megawatts per year, which is equivalent to the decommissioning of natural gas power stations for six months.
