Annex - Draft Public Utilities (Water Supply) (Amendment) Regulations 2021: Singapore's Mandatory Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (MWELS) was introduced in 2009 to help consumers make more informed purchasing decisions and encourage suppliers to introduce more water-efficient products into the market. Currently, the MWELS covers water fittings and appliances such as taps and mixers, dual-flush low capacity flushing cisterns, urinal flush valves, waterless urinals, household washing machines and dishwashers. It is mandatory for suppliers and retailers to obtain the relevant water efficiency registration and labels for their products, before they are allowed to be supplied or offered, advertised or displayed for sale and installation in Singapore.

Annex - Draft Public Utilities (Water Supply) (Amendment) Regulations 2021: Under Singapore's Mandatory Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (MWELS), minimum water efficiency requirements have been mandated for commonly used water fittings and appliances since 2009, with a view to helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions, and encouraging suppliers to introduce more water-efficient products into the market. (...)
Water consumption in the non-domestic sector accounts for about 45% of total water use in Singapore, and is estimated to increase to about 60% in the long term. To promote water conservation in the non-domestic sector, Singapore currently adopts a range of measures such as the mandatory submission of Water Efficiency Management Plans for large water users, incentive schemes to facilitate water efficiency projects, as well as the publication of water efficiency benchmarks and best practice guides. However, more regulatory measures are needed to make further progress in water conservation and ensure sustainable water use in the non-domestic sector. Therefore, minimum water efficiency requirements will be mandated on the abovementioned three types of commonly used commercial appliances. Only models that meet the minimum water efficiency requirements will be allowed to be offered, displayed or advertised for sale or supply in Singapore. |
