| Label Description | The Bureau of Standards is responsible for the Jamaican Ener$ave program that is covered by the Standards Act. Consumers are encouraged to purchase the most energy efficient appliances to reduce their own energy costs but also so as to contribute to the National energy conservation program. Each year the specially designed Energy Efficiency Laboratory at the Bureau of Standards, tests the energy consumption of all imported and locally manufactured refrigerators and freezers. The test is based on the American Home and Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) standard with the test temperature set at 43.3 degrees Celsius to reflect the Jamaican climate. The energy label reflects annual consumption primarily as a dollar value but also in kWh. | |||
