| Electromagnetic Compatibility — Household Refrigerating Appliances (JS / CISPR 14 series under JSMO; TRC for any radio module) | China's EMC requirements for household appliances (including refrigerators) are governed by GB 4343.1-2018 (emission limits and measurement methods; mandatory, equivalent to CISPR 14-1:2016) and GB/T 4343.2-2020 (immunity; recommended, equivalent to CISPR 14-2:2015), with GB 17625.1-2022 (mandatory, IDT IEC 61000-3-2) for harmonic emissions. These are enforced under the CCC regime administered by SAMR/CNCA. For wireless modules, China requires SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) type approval. Chinese GB 4343.1 test reports and SRRC approvals are domestic-scope and are not directly accepted by JSMO or TRC, though the shared CISPR 14 basis means the underlying emission/immunity engineering largely aligns.GB 4343.1-2018 — Electromagnetic disturbance characteristics of household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus — Part 1: Emission (mandatory; equivalent to CISPR 14-1:2016; enforced under CCC by SAMR/CNCA) GB/T 4343.2-2020 — Part 2: Immunity (recommended; equivalent to CISPR 14-2:2015) GB 17625.1-2022 — Limits for harmonic current emissions (mandatory; IDT IEC 61000-3-2) SRRC type approval — for any wireless (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) module |
Electromagnetic compatibility for household appliances in Jordan is addressed through Jordanian Standards (JS) adopted from the IEC/CISPR family — principally CISPR 14-1 (emission) and CISPR 14-2 (immunity) for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus. These standards form part of the technical documentation supporting the JSMO conformity certificate for regulated electrical products. Unlike the EU, Jordan does not operate a separate stand-alone EMC directive with a dedicated CE-style self-declaration; EMC evidence is folded into the JSMO conformity assessment alongside electrical safety. Separately, if a refrigerator includes a wireless module (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for smart-home connectivity), the radio aspect falls under the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) of Jordan, which administers type approval / equipment authorization for radio-frequency equipment. The TRC requirement is independent of the JSMO appliance conformity certificate.JS / CISPR 14-1 — Electromagnetic compatibility — Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus — Part 1: Emission (Jordanian Standard adopted from CISPR 14-1) JS / CISPR 14-2 — Part 2: Immunity (Jordanian Standard adopted from CISPR 14-2) JSMO conformity certificate route — EMC evidence forms part of the technical documentation for regulated electrical products Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) — type approval / equipment authorization required for any wireless (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) module |
Two procedural gaps despite the shared CISPR 14 technical basis: (1) Conformity route — EMC evidence for Jordan is submitted as part of the JSMO conformity certificate dossier, not as a stand-alone CE-style self-declaration; Chinese GB 4343.1 CCC test data must be presented through a JSMO-recognised conformity assessment route. An IECEE CB / accredited CISPR 14 test report typically reduces duplicate testing — confirm acceptance with the importer and JSMO. (2) Wireless models — any refrigerator with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth requires separate TRC type approval in Jordan; the Chinese SRRC approval does not transfer. Note that Jordan does not impose an EU-style stand-alone EMC directive nor an EU-style RED regime; the EMC and radio obligations are handled through JSMO (appliance) and TRC (radio) respectively.[INFORMATIONAL] EMC for refrigerators entering Jordan is handled through JS standards adopting CISPR 14, submitted within the JSMO conformity certificate dossier rather than a stand-alone EU-style EMC self-declaration. Chinese GB 4343.1 CCC data is not directly accepted but a CISPR 14 / IECEE CB report reduces re-testing. Wireless-enabled models additionally require TRC type approval; Chinese SRRC approval does not transfer. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) — Household Refrigerating Appliances (JSMO energy-efficiency technical regulation) | China's mandatory energy efficiency standard for household refrigerators is GB 12021.2-2015 (Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for household refrigerators), establishing grades (Grade 1 most efficient through Grade 5 minimum threshold) and minimum annual energy consumption limits. It is mandatory and enforced by SAMR, with the energy labelling system administered by NDRC. Measurement aligns with the IEC 62552 series via GB/T 8059. The GB 12021.2 grade boundaries and EEI basis are set for the Chinese market and are not the same numeric thresholds as Jordan's MEPS — a Chinese Grade 1/2 rating does not by itself prove compliance with the Jordanian MEPS floor and must be re-assessed against the Jordanian threshold values.GB 12021.2-2015 — Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for household refrigerators (mandatory; enforced by SAMR/NDRC under China Energy Label system) GB/T 8059-2016 — Household and similar refrigerating appliances (test method standard, aligned with IEC 62552 series) |
Jordan operates a mandatory minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) regime for household electrical appliances, including refrigerators and freezers, administered through JSMO together with the energy-efficiency programme supported by national energy authorities. Refrigerating appliances must meet a minimum energy-efficiency threshold before they can be cleared and placed on the Jordanian market; products below the MEPS floor are not permitted. The energy-efficiency class and annual energy consumption are determined using test methods drawn from the IEC 62552 series (adopted as Jordanian Standards), consistent with the GSO/IEC measurement basis used across the region. The MEPS thresholds and the energy-class boundaries are defined by the applicable Jordanian energy-efficiency technical regulation and may be aligned with GSO regional energy-efficiency requirements; exporters must confirm the current threshold values and class boundaries with JSMO and the in-country importer.JSMO energy-efficiency technical regulation for household refrigerating appliances — mandatory MEPS floor; products below threshold not permitted JS / IEC 62552 series — Household refrigerating appliances — Characteristics and test methods (adopted measurement basis for MEPS and labelling) GSO regional energy-efficiency requirements — possible alignment basis (confirm current values with JSMO) |
Both China and Jordan ultimately measure energy performance using the IEC 62552 series, so the underlying test data is broadly portable, but the compliance gap is in the thresholds and the regulatory floor: (1) Different MEPS values — Jordan's mandatory minimum threshold and energy-class boundaries are set independently (and may be aligned with GSO regional values), so a Chinese Grade 1/2 product must be re-checked against the Jordanian MEPS floor; passing GB 12021.2 does not guarantee passing the Jordanian MEPS. (2) Below-threshold ban — products that do not meet the Jordanian MEPS floor cannot be imported or placed on the market, irrespective of their Chinese grade. (3) Test report basis — the energy data submitted for the Jordanian energy class must be derived from IEC 62552 measurements acceptable to JSMO; exporters should confirm whether existing IEC 62552-based reports (or CB-linked energy data) are accepted, or whether re-testing is required.[INFORMATIONAL] Jordan applies a mandatory MEPS floor to household refrigerators measured on the IEC 62552 basis. Chinese GB 12021.2 grades use the same measurement family but different threshold values; a Chinese Grade 1/2 rating must be re-checked against the Jordanian MEPS floor. Products below the Jordanian threshold cannot be imported. Confirm current MEPS values with JSMO and the importer. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Energy-Efficiency Label — Jordan Energy Label for Refrigerating Appliances (JSMO labelling technical regulation) | China's energy labelling for household refrigerators is the China Energy Label (CEL) under the Measures for the Administration of Energy Efficiency Labels (NDRC/SAMR, 2016 revision), displaying a 1-to-5 grade scale and annual energy consumption, administered by CNIS under NDRC/SAMR. Manufacturers self-declare the grade based on GB 12021.2 testing; there is no centralized pre-registration database. The Chinese CEL is in Chinese, uses a 1-to-5 grade scale, and is designed for the domestic market — it cannot serve as the Jordanian energy label, which uses its own class scale and Arabic-language content.Measures for the Administration of Energy Efficiency Labels (NDRC/SAMR 2016 revision) — China Energy Label framework GB 12021.2-2015 — Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and energy efficiency grades for household refrigerators (underlying grade standard) |
In addition to meeting the MEPS floor, household refrigerating appliances sold in Jordan must carry a Jordanian energy-efficiency label issued under the applicable JSMO labelling technical regulation. The label displays the energy-efficiency class and the annual energy consumption (kWh/annum), with class determination based on IEC 62552 series measurements. The label must be affixed/displayed at point of sale, and label text/content is expected in Arabic for the local market. The Jordanian label scheme is administered through JSMO and the national energy-efficiency programme; it is distinct from the EU's EPREL pre-registration database — Jordan does not operate an EU-style centralized public product registry for energy labels, so the obligation is the physical label plus the conformity dossier rather than an EPREL-style database upload (confirm current label format, class scale, and any registration step with JSMO and the importer).JSMO energy-label technical regulation for refrigerating appliances — mandatory energy-efficiency label at point of sale JS / IEC 62552 series — measurement basis for the declared energy class and annual consumption Arabic-language label content expected for the Jordanian market |
The Chinese CEL cannot be reused for Jordan: (1) Different label — the Jordanian energy label uses its own class scale and Arabic-language content; the Chinese 1-to-5 CEL must be replaced by the Jordanian label for products sold in Jordan. (2) No EPREL-style registry — unlike the EU, Jordan does not require an EPREL-type centralized database upload, so the practical obligation is producing the correct physical Jordanian label and including energy data (IEC 62552 basis) in the JSMO conformity dossier; confirm with JSMO whether any model registration step exists. (3) Class derivation — the energy class shown on the Jordanian label must be derived against the Jordanian class boundaries, which differ from the Chinese grade boundaries; re-mapping from a Chinese grade to the Jordanian class is required. The importer typically coordinates label production and placement in Jordan.[INFORMATIONAL] A Jordanian energy-efficiency label (Arabic content, Jordanian class scale, IEC 62552 basis) is mandatory at point of sale for refrigerators. The Chinese CEL does not transfer. Jordan does not operate an EU-style EPREL public registry, so the obligation is the physical label plus energy data in the JSMO conformity dossier — confirm the current label format and any registration step with JSMO and the importer. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| JSMO Conformity Certificate — Mandatory Technical Regulation for Regulated Products (Certificate of Conformity at Aqaba import) | In China, household refrigerating appliances require China Compulsory Certification (CCC) covering safety (GB 4706.13) and EMC (GB 4343.1) before sale, administered by CNCA-designated certification bodies under SAMR; the China Energy Label (GB 12021.2 basis) is a separate mandatory requirement under NDRC/SAMR. CCC is a domestic third-party certification and is not directly accepted by JSMO as the basis for a Jordanian conformity certificate. However, because the underlying GB standards derive from the same IEC/CISPR texts, the test data developed for CCC — especially if backed by IECEE CB Scheme reports — can substantially reduce the testing needed for the JSMO conformity certificate.CCC (China Compulsory Certification) — safety (GB 4706.13) + EMC (GB 4343.1); mandatory; administered by CNCA/SAMR China Energy Label — Measures for the Administration of Energy Efficiency Labels (NDRC/SAMR); based on GB 12021.2-2015 |
Household refrigerating appliances are regulated electrical products in Jordan and require a JSMO conformity certificate (Certificate of Conformity) issued against the applicable Jordanian technical regulation before they can be cleared through customs (principally the port of Aqaba) and placed on the market. The certificate confirms that the appliance meets the adopted Jordanian Standards for electrical safety (JS / IEC 60335-2-24), EMC (JS / CISPR 14 basis), and energy-efficiency/MEPS requirements. The conformity assessment is supported by a technical dossier — test reports (ideally on an IEC / IECEE CB basis), the rating-plate and marking details (230 V / 50 Hz), refrigerant declaration, and the energy-class data. There is no single CE-style mark in Jordan and no EU-style manufacturer self-declaration route for regulated products; conformity is evidenced through the JSMO certificate obtained, in practice, with the involvement of the in-country importer. Customs at Aqaba check for the conformity certificate as a condition of release.JSMO mandatory technical regulation for regulated electrical products — Certificate of Conformity required before customs clearance and market placement JS / IEC 60335-2-24 (safety), JS / CISPR 14 (EMC), JSMO energy-efficiency/MEPS regulation — collectively evidenced in the conformity dossier Port of entry: Aqaba — customs release conditional on the JSMO conformity certificate IECEE CB Scheme test reports — accepted basis to reduce duplicate testing (confirm with JSMO/importer) |
Chinese manufacturers must obtain a JSMO conformity certificate even though they already hold CCC: (1) Conformity certificate, not CCC — the Jordanian Certificate of Conformity is issued against the Jordanian technical regulation; the Chinese CCC certificate is not accepted as a substitute, although the supporting IEC-based test data (and especially IECEE CB reports) can be re-used to minimise re-testing. (2) Combined scope — the JSMO conformity dossier must cover safety, EMC, refrigerant declaration, and the energy-efficiency class/MEPS together, plus the 230 V / 50 Hz rating; the Chinese package (CCC + separate China Energy Label) must be re-compiled to the Jordanian structure. (3) Arabic markings — product markings and instructions should be available in Arabic. (4) Customs at Aqaba — release is conditional on presenting the conformity certificate, which is practically coordinated by the in-country importer (see frigjo-market-002). Jordan does not operate an EU-style RoHS, battery, or outdoor-noise horizontal regime, so those EU-only obligations do not apply.[INFORMATIONAL] A JSMO Certificate of Conformity against the Jordanian technical regulation is the hard gate for clearing refrigerators through Aqaba and placing them on the Jordanian market. Chinese CCC is not accepted as a substitute, but IEC-based test data and IECEE CB reports can sharply reduce re-testing. The dossier must combine safety, EMC, refrigerant, and energy/MEPS, with 230 V / 50 Hz rating and Arabic markings. No EU-style RoHS/battery/noise horizontal regime applies. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| In-Country Importer of Record — Jordan-Established Importer for Customs and Market Placement | China has no direct regulatory equivalent obligating an export manufacturer to appoint a destination-country resident importer of record responsible for conformity and market-surveillance follow-up. Chinese exporters typically work with overseas distributors or trading companies on a commercial basis. Under the domestic CCC regime, the certificate holder is the responsible party for the Chinese market only; this role does not extend to or satisfy the Jordanian in-country importer requirement. The Jordanian importer-of-record obligation is therefore a structural requirement with no statutory Chinese analogue for export-bound goods.N/A — no direct Chinese regulatory equivalent requiring a destination-country importer of record for export goods | To place household refrigerating appliances on the Jordanian market, there must be an in-country importer of record — a company legally established and registered in Jordan that imports the goods, clears them through customs at Aqaba, and is the responsible party for the JSMO conformity certificate process and market placement. The Jordanian importer typically holds the import documentation, coordinates the conformity assessment and certificate issuance with JSMO, arranges the Arabic-language labelling/markings and the Jordanian energy label, and is the point of contact for the authorities for any compliance follow-up or corrective action. A foreign manufacturer cannot directly place products on the Jordanian market without this established importer; logistics agents or customs brokers acting in a transactional capacity do not by themselves satisfy the importer-of-record role for conformity purposes.Jordanian import and customs requirements — importer of record must be a Jordan-established/registered company JSMO conformity certificate process — practically coordinated by the in-country importer Port of entry: Aqaba — importer arranges customs clearance and presents the conformity certificate |
This is a structural gap with no Chinese regulatory analogue. A Chinese refrigerator manufacturer must secure a Jordan-established importer of record before goods can be cleared and placed on the market: (1) the importer must be a legally registered Jordanian entity, not merely a freight forwarder or customs broker acting transactionally; (2) the importer holds the import documentation and is the responsible party coordinating the JSMO conformity certificate, the Arabic labelling, and the Jordanian energy label; (3) the importer is the authorities' point of contact for any post-market compliance follow-up. Without this in-country importer, customs at Aqaba will not release the goods and the product cannot legally be placed on the Jordanian market, regardless of the technical compliance of the appliance. Note this differs from the EU Authorised Representative concept: Jordan's requirement is satisfied by an established importer of record rather than an EU-style mandated AR appointment.[INFORMATIONAL] Chinese refrigerator manufacturers must secure a Jordan-established importer of record before goods can clear Aqaba customs and be placed on the market. The importer coordinates the JSMO conformity certificate, Arabic labelling, and energy label, and is the authorities' compliance contact. This differs from the EU AR concept — Jordan relies on an established importer of record. Without it, the goods cannot legally enter the Jordanian market regardless of technical compliance. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Refrigerant — R-600a Flammable Refrigerant Handling (JS / IEC 60335-2-24 flammable-refrigerant requirements under JSMO) | China addresses flammable-refrigerant safety for household appliances through GB 4706.13-2014, which incorporates the R-600a flammability provisions derived from IEC 60335-2-24, supplemented by GB 9237 (safety requirements for refrigerating systems, aligned with ISO 5149). China conducts its HFC phase-down under the Kigali Amendment (ratified June 2021), administered by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), separate from any EU-style product F-Gas schedule. Chinese household refrigerators are already predominantly R-600a, so the refrigerant technology aligns well with Jordanian expectations; the main task is documentation and charge verification against the adopted IEC 60335-2-24 limits used by JSMO.GB 4706.13-2014 — flammable-refrigerant (R-600a) requirements in household refrigerating appliances (derived from IEC 60335-2-24) GB 9237 — Safety requirements for refrigerating systems and heat pumps (aligned with ISO 5149) Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol — China HFC phase-down (ratified June 2021, administered by MEE) |
Household refrigerators sold in Jordan overwhelmingly use R-600a (isobutane, GWP approximately 3), the same low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant used in China and the EU. Jordan does not operate an EU-style horizontal F-Gas phase-down regulation; instead, refrigerant safety for household appliances is governed at the appliance level through the Jordanian Standard adopting IEC 60335-2-24, which includes the flammable-refrigerant requirements (maximum R-600a charge per compartment configuration, ventilation provisions, ignition-source controls). Manufacturers must: (1) verify that the R-600a charge complies with the adopted IEC 60335-2-24 flammable-refrigerant charge limits; (2) declare the refrigerant designation (R-600a / isobutane) and charge quantity in grams in the product documentation and on the rating plate; and (3) ensure flammability safety markings are present. Jordan, like other parties to the Montreal Protocol and its Kigali Amendment, participates in the international HFC phase-down, but this operates at the national/import-control level rather than as an EU-style product-by-product F-Gas prohibition schedule.JS / IEC 60335-2-24 — flammable-refrigerant requirements (R-600a charge limits, ventilation, ignition-source controls) — adopted Jordanian Standard under JSMO ISO 817 — Refrigerants — Designation and safety classification (R-600a classified A3: lower flammability) Montreal Protocol / Kigali Amendment — international HFC phase-down at national/import-control level (no EU-style product-by-product F-Gas schedule in Jordan) |
Because both China and Jordan handle R-600a at the appliance level via IEC 60335-2-24, this is primarily a documentation and verification gap rather than a technology gap: (1) Charge documentation — Jordanian product documentation and the rating plate must clearly state the refrigerant designation (R-600a / isobutane), charge weight in grams, and flammability safety precautions consistent with the adopted IEC 60335-2-24 flammable-refrigerant requirements. (2) Charge-limit verification — the R-600a charge must be confirmed against the adopted IEC 60335-2-24 maximum limits; Chinese CCC test data generally covers this since GB 4706.13 derives from the same IEC text, but the conformity dossier presented to JSMO should explicitly evidence the charge-limit compliance. (3) No horizontal F-Gas schedule — unlike the EU, Jordan does not impose an EU-style product-by-product F-Gas prohibition timeline, so there is no EU 2024/573-style Annex prohibition to map; HFC-based legacy models, if any, are managed through Jordan's national HFC import controls under the Kigali framework rather than a product ban schedule (confirm import-quota/control status with the importer).[INFORMATIONAL] R-600a is the dominant refrigerant in Jordan-market household refrigerators and is handled at the appliance level via JS / IEC 60335-2-24 flammable-refrigerant requirements. Chinese R-600a units align well; the main task is documenting refrigerant designation and charge weight and evidencing charge-limit compliance in the JSMO dossier. Jordan has no EU-style product-by-product F-Gas prohibition schedule — HFC controls operate via national import measures under the Kigali Amendment. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
| Electrical Safety — Household Refrigerating Appliances (JSMO technical regulation + JS / IEC 60335-2-24, 230 V / 50 Hz) | China's mandatory safety standard for household refrigerating appliances is GB 4706.13-2014 (Safety of household and similar electrical appliances — Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers), technically derived from IEC 60335-2-24:2010 with Chinese national deviations, read with GB 4706.1-2005 (general requirements). GB 4706.13 is mandatory and enforced by SAMR under the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) regime; products must be CCC-certified by a CNCA-designated body before sale in China. Chinese appliances are typically rated for 220 V, 50 Hz. CCC test reports issued by Chinese laboratories against GB 4706.13 are not directly accepted by JSMO as the basis for a Jordanian conformity certificate, although both China and Jordan ultimately trace to IEC 60335-2-24, which can reduce re-testing scope.GB 4706.13-2014 — Safety of household and similar electrical appliances — Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers (mandatory; derived from IEC 60335-2-24:2010 with national deviations; enforced under CCC by SAMR/CNCA) GB 4706.1-2005 — General requirements (read in conjunction with GB 4706.13) China grid rating: 220 V, 50 Hz |
Household refrigerating appliances placed on the Jordanian market must meet the electrical safety requirements set out in the applicable Jordanian Standard (JS), which is adopted from the IEC 60335 series — specifically IEC 60335-1 (general requirements) together with IEC 60335-2-24 (particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers). The Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO) is the national body that adopts JS standards (largely based on IEC and GSO standards) and enforces the mandatory technical regulation under which a conformity certificate is required for regulated electrical products. Appliances must be rated and verified for Jordan's electricity supply of 230 V, 50 Hz single-phase. Key requirements mirror the IEC 60335-2-24 content: protection against electric shock, insulation resistance and dielectric strength, thermal cut-outs, creepage and clearance distances, mechanical strength of the enclosure, earthing continuity, and appliance markings in line with the standard. Conformity is demonstrated through test reports and the JSMO conformity certificate route used at import.JS / IEC 60335-2-24 — Safety of household and similar electrical appliances — Part 2-24: Particular requirements for refrigerating appliances, ice-cream appliances and ice-makers (Jordanian Standard adopted from IEC 60335-2-24) JS / IEC 60335-1 — General requirements (read in conjunction with Part 2-24) JSMO mandatory technical regulation for regulated electrical products — conformity certificate required at import Jordan grid rating: 230 V, 50 Hz single-phase |
Because both regimes derive from IEC 60335-2-24, the underlying engineering content is broadly aligned, but procedural and ratings gaps remain: (1) JSMO requires a conformity certificate issued against the Jordanian technical regulation for import clearance — a CCC certificate is not directly accepted, so test reports must be presented to (or re-issued through) a JSMO-recognised conformity assessment route. An IECEE CB Scheme test report based on IEC 60335-2-24 (issued by an IECEE NCB) can typically reduce or avoid duplicate testing — exporters should confirm acceptance with the importer and JSMO. (2) Voltage rating — appliances must be rated and marked for 230 V (Jordan) rather than 220 V (China); the 50 Hz frequency is common to both, but rating-plate markings, thermal behaviour at 230 V, and any voltage-dependent protective components should be verified. (3) Documentation — product markings and instructions should be available in Arabic for the Jordanian market, and the importer named for conformity follow-up.[INFORMATIONAL] Electrical safety for household refrigerating appliances entering Jordan is governed by JS standards adopting IEC 60335-2-24, enforced via the JSMO conformity certificate at import. Chinese CCC certification to GB 4706.13 is not directly accepted, but because both trace to IEC 60335-2-24, an IECEE CB report can reduce re-testing. Appliances must be rated for 230 V / 50 Hz — verify the voltage rating versus China's 220 V. | Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO)2026-06-15 · reference |
