The Bureau of Energy Efficiency runs the Standards and Labelling programme under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. Manufacturers and importers of notified appliances, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, LED lamps and water heaters, must register with BEE, test products at NABL-accredited labs, and display star labels. Other appliances can be labelled voluntarily.

Label rules
Labels show star rating and energy consumption, and must follow BEE formats.
