Diesel Engine-Driven Monoset Pumps for Agricultural Purposes IS 11501, IS 11170 and IS 11346

BEE Registration for Diesel Engine-Driven Monoset Pumps for Agricultural Purposes is part of the BEE Standards & Labelling Programme. This programme is related to diesel engine-driven monoset pumps for pumping clear, cold, fresh water for agricultural purposes in the 2-10 HP range. This scheme focuses primarily on the energy performance of these pump sets, using their Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) to assign star ratings.

As per Schedule 13 of the BEE, the relevant Indian Standards for this registration scheme include IS 11501:1986, IS 11170:1985 and IS 11346:2002. According to the BEE schedule, the star labelling programme for these pumps is voluntary till further notice. Manufacturers, importers/ persons in trade can register with BEE to participate in the scheme, while BIS certification as per IS 11501 is also required for the product.

The performance evaluation for this scheme includes nominal flow rate, nominal head, fuel consumption at the nominal duty point, and SFC to determine the pump's energy performance and applicable star rating.

Key Highlights of IS 11501, IS 11170 & IS 11346

Manufacturers/importers must comply with the applicable energy-efficiency requirements in order to secure BEE Compliance:

Testing & NABL Lab Requirements under IS 11501, IS 11170, IS 11346
