BEE registration is mandatory for washing machines in India with a rated capacity of up to 10 kg under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. This regulation was implemented to promote energy efficiency and conservation in the household sector.
The BEE has developed a star rating system for washing machines, which ranges from 1 to 5 stars. This rating system indicates the energy efficiency of the washing machine, with 5 stars indicating the highest level of energy efficiency. The rating takes into account factors such as water consumption, energy consumption, and wash performance.
It is recommended that consumers opt for BEE certified washing machines with higher star ratings, as they consume less energy and water, thereby reducing electricity and water bills. The use of energy-efficient washing machines can also help reduce the environmental impact by lowering carbon emissions.
