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 is made by the manufacturer and 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.
NEA will from time to time carry out verification testing (VT) on registered model. All VT will be carried out in accordance with the applicable test standard.
