It builds consumer confidence and that is what we are seeking to achieve\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The smartphone app, which was developed in-house by the IT department of the Energy Commission, has unique features that help the consumer to use the model number of the appliance to do a quick verification while at the shopping centre.<\/p>\n<p>It also aids the commission to identify location of stores that stock inefficient and uncertified refrigerating appliances to aid in effective monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe App will tell the consumer within a 10km to 14km radius, the list of shops that deal in energy efficient refrigerating appliances and is assisted by Google maps. Within the app, you have from 1 to 5 star rated appliances to help consumers choose what models and brand names are most suitable for their budget,\u201d Mr. Agyarko added.<\/p>\n<p>In the event that an appliance is uncertified, the app will return an error message when the model number is entered.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe App is presently available for all Android devices on the Google Playstore platform, with plans far advanced to extend it to iOS devices.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Agyarko said for 2017, the compliance rate of importers with regards to labelling stood at 98%, which was highly commendable, although the commission wants to ensure full compliance is achieved.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the dealers and importers of refrigerating appliances for being largely compliant with regulations and urged them to patronise the App to enable the commission achieve its aim.<\/p>\n<p>Kofi Adu Agyarko added that the full category of appliances in the app will be updated to include air conditioners and other items in due time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the near future, all appliances that standards have been developed for, will be added to the App and the star ratings and models will be included,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Friday, 15 December 2017 Source: thebftonline.com 2017-12-15 Kofi Adu Agyarko addressing the audience at the launch of the Certified Refrigerating App The Energy Commission has introduced a Certified Refrigerating App to help consumers identify energy efficient refrigerators and also help the commission eliminate sub-standard refrigerating appliances that are smuggled into the country.
