BEE Registration for
Color Television

BEE registration for Color Television is mandatory in India under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, and is overseen by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) through its Standard and Labelling (S&L) Program. This program ensures that all colour televisions comply with energy efficiency requirements before being marketed in India, enabling consumers to identify energy-efficient products via the BEE Star Label and promoting energy conservation nationwide.

To register a television model, testing must be conducted on the specific model in a laboratory accredited by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, in accordance with relevant government standards. Energy consumption is assessed based on IEC 62087-3:2015; standby energy consumption is measured in accordance with IEC 62301 Edition 2.0; and product safety and general performance must conform to IS 616:2017 (with all relevant amendments). Only such compliant products are eligible to get BEE Star Label approval and registration.

BEE Registration helps manufacturers legally market compliant colour televisions in India, builds consumer confidence, and demonstrates compliance with the country's energy efficiency norms.
