On March 13, 2022, SASO released a notification to remind applicants that Air Conditioners with an "Inverter" type of compressor must obtain a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) energy efficiency label for products arriving in KSA after April 1, 2022. Products that are not upgraded to the SEER label will be treated as a "Fixed Speed" type of compressor which results in a lower energy efficiency class.
