BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) registration is mandatory for Room Air Conditioners (both variable speed and fixed speed) sold in India.
As per the BEE's guidelines, all room air conditioners up to a cooling capacity of 10,465 watts (2.97 TR) fall under the scope of mandatory BEE registration. The BEE provides star ratings for room air conditioners based on their energy efficiency. The higher the star rating, the more energy-efficient the air conditioner is.
Manufacturers must obtain BEE registration before selling their room air conditioners in India. The purpose of BEE registration is to ensure that the products meet the minimum energy efficiency standards set by the government, and thereby help consumers save energy and reduce their electricity bills. It also promotes the use of energy-efficient appliances, which is beneficial for the environment.
