Minimum energy performance standards and labeling policies help shift markets toward more energy efficient products.

Around the world, the importance of energy efficiency policies is now recognized – since 1977, the number of economies with appliance policies has increased more than tenfold.

Policy Database information can be combined with total electricity consumption data (IEA 2008) to identify and address gaps in policy coverage. More stringent policies in South & Southeast Asia can have greater global impact despite having fewer economies than Africa and Latin America.

Use the Database to identify gaps and assess policy impact

Use the Database to find opportunities for collaboration and harmonization

The CLASP Policy Database supports a holistic understanding of the state of appliance energy efficiency policies at the global, regional, and economy levels

As of 2018, there are over 2000 energy efficiency policies for appliances worldwide

Regionally harmonized standards and labels:

• Remove trade barriers

• Open up markets

• Enable governments to share market and product compliance data, reducing overall programme costs

CLASP estimates that today, over 100 economies have appliance S&L policies in place or are actively working to develop policies. The Policy Database currently captures 90 of these economies and aims to capture 100% of the world’s appliance energy efficiency policies.

Maintaining and improving the CLASP Policy Database requires strategic collaboration, regular feedback from users, and considerable resources.

CLASP is collaborating with Database users and striving to improve this tool based on a user experience survey.

What’s in the Database:

• Detailed policy information for 114 different product and equipment types, including both on- and off-grid products.

Policy types:

• Minimum energy performance standards (MEPS)• Comparative labels• Endorsement labels• Quality standards

@CLASPappliances CLASP improves the energy and environmental performance of the appliances & equipment we use every day, accelerating our transition to a more sustainable world.

*A weighted assessment assigns a value to each economy's information to more accurately represent the relative scale of energy efficiency policies in each country. In this example, economies that consume more electricity have a higher "value" or weight than those that consume less electricity.
