Who Should Get BEE (Bureau Of Energy Efficiency) Certificate
Consumer Trust
When a product is sold in market and the product is BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certified the product gains the trust of the consumer due to its verified energy efficiency. the consumer would only buy that product which is good for his lifestyle.
Market Advantage
For all those manufacturer and service providers that are certified under BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) can use its certificate to leverage it as a marketing strategy, this helps the manufacturer to stand different from the whole market and helps to attract more consumers as compared to others.
Regulatory Compliance
When the manufactures and Industries are certified under the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) it helps them to be regulated with the regulations and standards. This then helps them by avoiding the penalties they might face in some cases.
Energy And Cost Saving
BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) focuses in promoting the energy conservation among the industries and manufacturers helps them as well the consumer by reducing the cost of energy they consume thus helping them to save money.
Types Of BEE (Bureau Of Energy Efficiency)
In the year 2016 the Indian minister of power launched a star labelling scheme for the electric products to be manufactured in India that is to make them more energy efficient. under this province of scheme launched by the government, a total of 38 products were registered under the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) and till date it increases. Among all those products 16 of the products were considered as mandatory scheme and the remaining 22 were registered as under voluntary scheme.

Process Of Filling BEE (Bureau Of Energy Efficiency) Certificate
After knowing about the documents required for the certification the next step is to apply those documents for the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certificate and the process of certification is as follows
Understanding Requirements
Initially the company must understand the product for which he requires the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certificate. After understanding all those requirements, that the product has all the criteria for the certification then he should start the process of BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certificate.
Product Testing
The second step is to select the product that meets all the standards given by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency). Then the product selected is sent to the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) verified laboratory for testing and then there the laboratory will conduct various tests on it to know about the product power consumption and all the measures for the energy consumption.
Documentation
After the testing the next step is documentation all the required documents are collected with the test reports conducted by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) verified laboratories are then submitted to the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) website on their portal to move the process further so that the product must be BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certified as soon as possible
Application Fee Payment
After the documents are successfully submitted at the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) portal then the next step is to make payment. The fees for the product BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) certification depends upon the product category and the payment can be made through the specific mode such as (online payment, demand draft, etc.) and you have to make sure that the receipt of the payment should be kept safe by the company.
Verification And Evaluation
After the documentations are submitted to the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) portal then the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) starts the process of verification of all the documents provided to make sure that the documents that are provided are up to the standards set by them
Verification And Evaluation
when the product is approved by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) then the companies are allowed to fix the labels to their products
Certificate Issuance
if the application and all the documents are in order, and the product meets all the standard that are given by the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) then the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) will issue the certificate with the certificate in the hand then you are allowed to sell the product into the market without any hinderance with the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) energy efficiency sticker on it
Sample Lable
Star Rating
A star rating, ranges from 1 to 5 in the ascending order of energy efficiency is provided to the products registered with BEE. The Star or Energy labelling is based on Standards that prescribe limits on energy performance (usually maximum use or minimum efficiency) based on specified test protocols.
Energy Efficiency Ratio
Energy efficiency ratio is the ratio marked under the star rating EER is calculated by dividing a chillers’ cooling capacity (kW) by its power input (Watts) at full load conditions. The higher the EER, the more efficient the unit which means the product is more efficient in energy saving.
Product Details
Just below the energy efficiency ratio there is a column representing the details about the product those details consist of
1. APPLIANCE DETAILS
2. BRAND
3. MODEL / YEAR
4. COOLING CAPACITY AT (100%)
5. COOLING CAPACITY AT (50%)
6. ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
7. COMPRESSOR TYPE
8. HEAT PUMP
Bee Registration Number
After the details about the product, we see the BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) symbol and just below the symbol that symbol is a registration number provide to them by BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) that proves the authenticity of the product.
