BEE Certificate (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) - Overview
Energy efficiency is more than just a trend — it’s a commitment to a sustainable and responsible future. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) Certificate, introduced by the Government of India under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, plays a pivotal role in promoting energy conservation and reducing power consumption across industries.
This certification ensures that electrical appliances and equipment meet defined energy performance standards, empowering consumers to make informed, eco-friendly choices. Products that comply with these standards proudly display the BEE Star Label, where each additional star represents higher energy efficiency and greater savings.
Beyond regulatory compliance, BEE Certification enhances product credibility, strengthens brand reputation, and aligns manufacturers with India’s mission of sustainable growth. By embracing BEE standards, businesses demonstrate their dedication to energy conservation, innovation, and environmental responsibility — lighting the way toward a greener tomorrow.
WHAT IS A BEE CERTIFICATE?
BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) is a government agency under the Ministry of Power. It designs programmes for better energy use and supports energy conservation. One major role of BEE is to establish standards and labels for appliances. When a manufacturer makes a new model, they test it per BEE protocols, apply for registration, and obtain a star rating based on performance and energy use.
This certificate (or registration) shows compliance with these protocols. You can work with EVTL India as your BEE Certification Consultant to manage this process smoothly.
WHY DOES A PRODUCT NEED A BEE-RATING CERTIFICATE?
Consumer awareness: A BEE certificate tells consumers how energy-efficient a product is — helping them choose wisely.
Legal compliance: It ensures the manufacturer meets the minimum energy performance and label standards under the Act.
Brand reputation: Products with star ratings build trust and show commitment to quality and sustainability.
Energy savings: Efficient appliances reduce electricity use, lower bills, and help conserve resources.
BEE’s objective is to institutionalize energy-efficiency services, roll out delivery mechanisms nationwide, and reduce energy intensity in the economy.
BENEFITS OF CERTIFICATION BY BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Getting BEE certification offers these advantages:
- Standards compliance: Your products meet defined energy-efficiency benchmarks.
- Legal safety: You comply with the Energy Conservation Act and related rules.
- Better market image: Your brand shows responsible practices and quality assurance.
- Operational excellence: Your products will perform to expected energy efficiency levels.
- Competitive edge: Higher star ratings can attract more buyers and differentiate you in the market.
BEE STANDARDS & LABELLING PROGRAMME
Since 2006, BEE’s Standards & Labelling programme helps consumers by showing energy-saving potential of appliances via star ratings.
The programme sets Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for appliances/equipment.
- It assigns star-ratings from 1 to 5 stars, where 5 stars = highest energy efficiency.
- Labels carry information about energy consumption, brand/model, label period (validity) and star rating.
Latest updates & changes:
- BEE has introduced QR code mapping for certain appliances like Frost-Free and Direct Cool refrigerators.
- Submission of production data, CA-certified statements and labelling fees from FY2017-18 to FY2023-24 is now mandatory for registered manufacturers/permitees.
- A new product category such as Evaporative Air Coolers has been launched under voluntary star labelling as of 19 May 2025.
- There is increased emphasis on online/e-commerce display of the star label and energy information to aid consumer decision-making.
- The list of appliances and schedules undergo periodic amendment; e.g., star rating tables for LED lamps, tyres etc have been upgraded.
