Now let's study the process of becoming BEE-certified. Although it might appear complicated at first, we will tackle it step by step:

Step 1: Product testing: The first thing that you should do is to test how much energy your product consumes. This cannot just be done in your own factory setting or laboratory environment. Instead, you need to send your product into an examination stage where it will be analyzed at an accredited lab registered with NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories); these laboratories have solid technical know-how on exact energy consumption measurements. Two things will be checked here:
How well it works: This test reveals how well a product does its job such as keeping food cold for refrigerators or cooling rooms using air conditioners. The results of this test help in the star determination of a product.
If it is safe: It ensures no harm will come to people using the product when it’s used as intended. Safety is equally important with energy efficiency
Step 2: Register Your Brand: Upon the completion of testing your product, the next thing is branding with BEE. Here’s how:
♦ Collect all required documents: these are discussed below.
♦ Register at BEE portal: You must register for an account online with them.
♦ Submit a security deposit: It is a sign that you are serious about registering.
♦ Deliver your application to BEE: You will have to do this by sending them electronically as well as through post offices. All documents must be attached; they need a paper copy too which is signed by someone empowered to sign on behalf of your company.
♦ Wait as BEE reviews your application: They will go through each detail to ensure everything is correct and complete.
♦ Answer any questions: In case additional information is required by BEE, they request It as soon as possible.
♦ Get your login: Once all is well, BEE will provide you with a login through which you can manage your certification going into the future.
Step 3: Register Your Product Model: After registering your trademark, the registration process for your particular product design starts. Follow these steps:
♦ Get all your documents prepared: there are other papers needed at this stage.
♦ Place them on your account at the BEE website: it is there that you will upload them.
♦ Send your sample results: Remember that test for step 1? Now is the time to use that information
♦ Prepare a specimen of BEE label: It indicates how the energy efficiency label would appear on your item
♦ You must apply online and offline: the same as brand registration
♦ Pay a fee for registering your models: The registration charge for any model should be paid
♦ Allow BEE to verify everything: They want everything analyzed including documents and tests
♦ Address any issues arising: If BEE needs clarification, ensure timely provision
♦ Receive approval: Should all things be right, the model will be approved by BEE
♦ The use of BEE labels starts: Upon approval, you are free to include BEE labels on your products.
