BEE Registration Certification in India

1. BEE Star Rating: 1 to 5 Stars

BEE is surely a valuable license that assesses and confirms the energy efficiency of its products. There is a star rating system that ranges from 1 to 5 stars, which is basically granted to specified products based on their performance of energy consumption. Higher star rating means higher energy efficiency. 

2. Types of BEE Registration (Star Marking Label)

The different types of BEE registration are as follows:

• Mandatory Registration

  This type of registration is required for a specific category of products that are covered under the mandatory applicable product list, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, and LED lamps, etc. These products can not be sold in India without the BEE labelling. 

• Voluntary Registration

  The products which are not covered under the mandatory applicable product list, can also be voluntarily registered for BEE Certification. This certificate may give a competitive advantage to the manufacturer / Importer / trader. Sometimes this certification can be essential for the specific order supply or tender eligibility in India.

3. Validity and Renewal 

The BEE Registration remains valid for 3 years starting from the date of issuance, with the option of subsequent renewal. To initiate the renewal process, the applicant will have to submit certain necessary documents and fees.
