Manama, Aug. 3 (BNA): The Supreme Council for Environment (SCE) created the Request to Register Large Cooling and Air-Conditioning Units digital service as part of the government’s continuous efforts to enhance and re-engineer public services.
SCE develops digital service for registration of large cooling and air-conditioning units
Cooling and air conditioning units having a cooling capacity more than 15 refrigeration tons, including air conditioning systems and industrial refrigeration units, can be registered by licensed companies using this service. In accordance with national laws and the demands of the Montreal Protocol, it seeks to improve regulatory control and guarantee the appropriate management of refrigerant gases through collection and recycling while restricting their discharge into the atmosphere.
Additionally, the service offers a centralized database that supports environmental compliance and monitoring by enabling enterprises to search registered units and update their information on a regular basis.
By completely automating processes, cutting down on processing steps and access pages, and enhancing the user interface and experience to improve efficiency and facilitate access, the SCE has decreased the service completion time from twenty working days to five.
The SCE’s chief executive, Amna Hamad Al Rumaihi, stated that the service helps Bahrain fulfill its obligations under the Montreal Protocol by strengthening oversight of the use and circulation of controlled refrigerants through an integrated electronic database that supports traceability, inspection programs, environmental compliance, and more accurate data.
The improvement, she continued, demonstrates the SCE’s dedication to expanding and strengthening the effectiveness of its digital services, cutting down on processing time and effort, and boosting operational efficacy.
Over 1,300 government services have been recorded, translated, and published as part of continuous government efforts to develop and re-engineer government services; approximately 800 services are currently undergoing development and re-engineering across several government sectors.
This is based on proposals and feedback received regarding government services through the National System for Suggestions and Complaints, Tawasul, investor feedback, and secret-shopper reports evaluating government services, as well as on the launch of guidance manuals and service-level agreements.
These efforts contribute to improving procedural efficiency, enhancing service quality, strengthening beneficiary experience, and supporting the government’s digital transformation journey.
