BEE Certificate Registration

Why Does a Product Need a BEE Rating Certificate?

The reason for the BEE rating certificate is to raise awareness about how energy-efficient people can be and enable consumers to make informed decisions. It is a good reflection of how well a product uses energy and how much electricity it needs. The wider goal of BEE is to get a system operational that provides energy efficiency services across the country and leads the drive for accountable energy consumption in all industries. The long-term vision is to decrease the energy intensity of the Indian economy, i.e., reducing energy inputs to achieve the same outcome.

We're a global community, using more energy than we ever have, and it only continues to grow. That's why it's necessary for all of us to adopt sustainable practices and energy conservation in our everyday lives. From the moment we wake up to the devices we use, energy powers almost everything in our daily routine. We all want to be comfortable and productive, but not at the cost of our world.

Also by getting BEE Registration done business is complying with the regulatory compliances which are really important in order to do business freely in the market.

Advantages of Certification by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency

Some of the key benefits of certification by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency are given below:

• Standardization: Goods must comply with certain energy efficiency standards. BEE certification guarantees that these standards are upheld as per legal and regulatory standards.
• Legal Compliance: Certification assures compliance by the company or manufacturer with the Energy Conservation Act, 2001.
• Better Reputation: By earning a BEE certificate, the brand's reputation and credibility are boosted since it reveals the brand's attention to energy efficiency and sustainability.
• Sustained Efficiency: It is a guarantee that the product meets the set standard of efficiency, as per national standards of maximum usage of energy.

BEE Standard and Labelling Program

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has been operating the Standards & Labelling Programme since 2006 under the Energy Conservation Act (EC Act). The program requires labelling energy performance on large energy-consuming appliances and equipment, and levying Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for the product so that only products having a minimum level of energy efficiency can be sold. With such a system, items are rated 1 through 5 stars, the higher number indicating the most energy efficient.

Why Energy Efficiency Standards Matter?

These standards provide guidelines for the energy efficiency of equipment and appliances. Manufacturing less than the minimum level of efficiency required by law is prohibited. Beyond lending its support to the government's energy-saving objective, this regulation also safeguards consumers from purchasing inefficient, high-energy-consuming items. It is a moral and legal obligation of manufacturers to make sure that their products are BEE compliant without any compromise on quality or consumer trust. Selling non-compliant products can get one into legal issues and tarnish the reputation of a brand.

If you are an importer or producer and you would like to align yourself with BEE standards, Aleph India, as a reliable Delhi consultancy, can help you with the entire process, ranging from testing and documentation to effective certification.

Step by Step Process of BEE Registration

Before proceeding with the BEE registration application, the first step is to determine whether your product falls under mandatory or voluntary registration under BEE. Certain products are registered according to BEE guidelines, while certain products are registered voluntarily. Step by step process in order to get BEE Registration is given below:

STEP 1: PRODUCT TESTING

The BEE registration process starts with product testing to calculate energy usage. This should have a valid test report during model registration. You must submit your product samples and technical documents to a NABL-approved lab for testing and obtain the results.

• Performance Test: Performance of all the products under BEE is tested. Based on this, a Star Rating is assigned that indicates the energy efficiency of the product.
• Safety Test: Those products that are also under BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) are safety-tested to confirm that they are safe for use by consumers.

STEP 2: COMPANY/BRAND REGISTRATION

For registering your company or brand with BEE, please follow below:

• Document Collection: Collect all the documents needed and register your brand at the BEE portal. Online payment of the security deposit.
• Submission of Application: Fill out the full application in hard copy and online mode and submit it to BEE. Stamp and sign the hard copy with the Authorized Signatory. If clarifications or additional details are needed from BEE, reply immediately.
• Verification of Documents: BEE officials will check the documents to confirm that all the documents are in chronological order.
• Login Credentials: After BEE is content with your submission, they will provide you with login credentials. In approval, the system will enable you to move on and register models.

STEP 3: MODEL REGISTRATION

Now, after your brand is registered, you can register individual models by the following steps:

• Document Preparation: Collect all information about the models and upload them to the BEE portal.
• Test Report Submission: The test report should have performance and safety tests.
• Generate BEE Sample Label: Based on the test report, a BEE Sample Label is generated. It indicates the energy efficiency and cost-saving capacity of the model.
• Model Registration: Fill out the application offline and online. Pay for the model registration online and post a hard copy along with all the supporting documents and the sample label.
• Applications Review: BEE officials shall scrutinize the application and test reports with great care. Reports missing, misplaced, or loosely stacked together will result in rejection.
• Approval & Label Rights: After approval, BEE allows the use of the BEE label on that model.
