BEE Certification in India: Everything You Need to Know
Get Your Product Certified with Confidence
The BEE Star Label is India's official energy efficiency certification mark for appliances. Administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power, Government of India, the Standards & Labelling (S&L) Scheme was launched in 2006 and is now governed by the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. The Star Label confirms that a product conforms to the applicable energy efficiency standard and helps consumers make informed, energy-saving choices.
Certification is only the first step. BEE certification is mandatory for notified products — such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, ceiling fans, and LED lamps — and voluntary for others, where it helps build buyer trust and market credibility. You may also require product testing, model registration, label renewal, and other statutory compliance.
eFileSeva provides end-to-end assistance — from selecting the right product category and preparing documentation to coordinating testing, filing applications, registering models, and ensuring ongoing compliance — making your BEE certification journey simple, fast, and hassle-free.
