What is BEE Certification?

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the Ministry of Power, Government of India, promotes energy efficiency and conservation through its BEE Star Labeling Program. BEE certification is a mandatory and voluntary compliance program designed to ensure that electrical appliances and equipment meet energy efficiency standards and help consumers make informed purchasing decisions.

BEE-certified products are labeled with Star Ratings (1-Star to 5-Star), where higher stars indicate better energy efficiency and lower power consumption.

Why is BEE Certification Important?

• Regulatory Compliance – Certain appliances must have a BEE star rating before being sold in India.
• Energy Savings – Encourages energy-efficient manufacturing, reducing electricity bills for consumers.
• Market Competitiveness – Products with higher star ratings gain consumer preference.
• Sustainability & Environmental Benefits – Helps reduce carbon emissions and supports a greener planet.
• Increased Customer Trust – Builds credibility by proving that products meet government-approved energy efficiency standards.

BEE certification is categorized into Mandatory and Voluntary Labeling Schemes:

1. Mandatory BEE Certification (Compulsory Star Labeling)
