On August 17, 2026, Kuwait brought into effect two energy efficiency standards for lighting products:

• KWS 1902-1:2024 ─ Energy Efficiency, Functionality and Labeling Requirements for Lighting Products – Part 1

• KWS 1902-2:2024 ─ Energy Efficiency, Functionality and Labeling Requirements for Lighting Products – Part 2

All lighting products covered by the above standards must, in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements, be registered in the system of the Kuwait Public Authority for Industry (PAI), obtain a dedicated energy efficiency label for each product model, and have the label printed on the product packaging.

The official mandatory effective date for energy efficiency registration has now been updated and extended to December 31, 2026.

BACL hereby recommends that exporters to Kuwait make full use of this transition period, prepare product energy efficiency reports in advance, and complete energy efficiency registration. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us for consultation.
