BEE Certification
What is BEE Certification?
BEE Certification is issued by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), an agency established by the Government of India under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. Since its inception in 2002, BEE has been working towards reducing the overall energy consumption of the Indian economy by promoting energy-efficient technologies, practices, and products.
BEE certification is essential for manufacturers, importers, and traders of electrical appliances and equipment, as it demonstrates compliance with energy efficiency standards. Products registered under the BEE Star Labeling Program receive a star rating (1–5 stars) that indicates their level of energy efficiency, helping consumers make informed choices while encouraging industries to adopt sustainable practices.
By partnering with a BEE registration consultant, businesses can streamline the certification process, ensure compliance with government regulations, and enhance the credibility of their brand.
