BEE Registration

You must first identify whether you are qualified for mandatory or voluntary BEE certification. Some items are required to be registered under the mandatory product list of BEE, while others are on the voluntary product list.

STEP 1: PRODUCT TESTING

BEE Registration begins with the testing of a sample to determine the rate of energy consumption. At the time of MODEL Registration, the test report will be required. Applicant needs to send the sample(s) and technical documentation to a NABL-accredited lab for testing and receive the results.

Two types of testing are done, which are as follows:

1. Performance Testing – All items covered by the BEE are subjected to performance testing. It aids in depicting the product’s performance, and a star rating is assigned as a result.
2. Safety Testing – The samples covered by BEE and BIS are subjected to safety testing. This test is used to determine whether the product is consumer-friendly or not.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR TESTING

The following documents are required for testing of products:

• Proof of the manufacturing unit’s legal address
