BEE Registration for
Deep Freezers

BEE Registration for Deep Freezers is an essential requirement for compliance with energy efficiency standards by manufacturers and business enterprises that have put eligible deep freezers on the Indian market. BEE has developed an energy label programme for deep freezers to enable customers to choose energy-efficient models. This programme applies to top-access/chest-type deep freezers, as per the scope of IS 7872, including hard-top and glass-top deep freezers.

Within the existing standard structure, IS 7872:2020 Deep Freezers provides technical standards for the performance of deep freezers. For energy performance determination, as per the BEE schedule, IS 7872 and its amendments are used to determine factors such as energy consumption, storage volume, and pull-down performance.

BEE registration and labelling can benefit businesses, including manufacturers, importers, and others who wish to comply with India's energy efficiency standards and build credibility for their products in the market.
