1、 Introduction

In the Economic Commission for West Africa region, especially in Cote d'Ivoire, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, and electric lights sold are energy intensive products, resulting in high demand for electricity every year, with an annual electricity demand growth rate of around 8%. In this situation, the Minister in charge of energy, the Minister in charge of trade, and the Minister in charge of budget signed Inter Ministerial Decree No. 140/MPEER/MBPE/MCI on November 27, 2020, which pertains to energy labeling provisions for electric lights, air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, and new refrigerator freezer combinations. Therefore, the West African Economic and Monetary Union Ivory Coast has implemented energy efficiency labeling control for electrical products.

2、 The electric lights that require labeling are:

--Compact fluorescent lamp: any power

--Linear fluorescent tube: 15W-70W

--T5 fluorescent tube: 15W-80W

--LED light source: 3W-25W

--Halogen lamp: 10W-80W

3、 API (Pre Import Authorization) Request Process and Energy Efficiency Classification

1. API retrieval steps:

a. Submit API request

This step is completely digital. When importers or their representatives handle product import procedures in Cote d'Ivoire, they connect to the GUCE platform( https://guce.gouv.ci )Apply for FDI (Import Application Form) for you.

The completed form, along with the energy efficiency test report and order invoice, will be submitted to the Energy Administration for analysis through the platform.

b. Analysis and Handling of Energy Efficiency Classification Requirements and APIs

Through the GUCE platform, the submitted files will be analyzed by the agent responsible for processing at the Directorate General of Energy (DGE).

If the file is approved, generate APIs for each relevant product and attach the label model to be created and paste it on the API.

2. Transportation Procedure

The VOC (Compliance Verification) program will require importers to affix energy efficiency labels to household appliances before shipment and provide regular VOC documentation.

3. Control of products with energy efficiency labels when disembarking

When the order arrives at Ivory Coast Customs, the Ministry of Energy (General Energy Bureau and Branch) and Customs inspect whether the energy efficiency label is consistent with the energy efficiency label generated by the GUCE platform.

Attention: If there are unauthorized energy efficiency labels on the order, they are prohibited from being sold in the market.
