BEE Registration for
EV Charger

EV Charger Testing Requirements for BEE Registration

The test should be conducted according to the relevant part of the IS 17017 series, depending on the type of charger being used: IS 17017 Part 23 for DC EVSE (50-200 kW), and the relevant AC parts (including Part 1, General requirements) for AC chargers. This is done in NABL-accredited laboratories.

• Efficiency of Weighted Average: It is calculated based on several pre-specified load or power output settings (e.g., 10%, 20%, 50%, 75%, 100% load outputs, as per test standards guidelines).
• Test Ambient Conditions: Testing shall be conducted in a controlled environment at a constant ambient temperature of 27±2°C and a relative humidity of 10% to 90%.
• Power Measurement: This test requires the multi-channel power analyser, which must be connected to both the AC power input and the DC output loads to measure power efficiency.
• Standard References: The testing procedure must adhere to the guidelines in IS 17017-23 and be conducted in NABL-accredited laboratories.

Step-by-Step BEE Registration Process for EV Charger  

The BEE Registration process involves:

• Verify Applicability of the Product: The manufacturer/applicant shall confirm that the product is applicable under BEE Schedule 41.
• List relevant standards: Test and energy performance evaluations shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable part of IS 17017 for the charger type. 
• Product Testing: The model shall be tested to determine its weighted average energy efficiency and other parameters specified under IS 17017
• Get the Test Report: Upon successful completion of the testing process, the applicant will receive the test report from an NABL-certified lab or another authorised lab, as required.
• Preparation of the Application and Relevant Documents: The application document and other relevant documents related to BEE S&L will be prepared by the applicant.
• BEE Application Process: The BEE application shall be submitted through the respective BEE Standards & Labelling registration process, along with other relevant documents and applicable charges.
• Scrutiny and Verification by BEE: The BEE shall undertake scrutiny and verification of the application along with other relevant test documents. Any discrepancies must be resolved before approval.
• BEE Approval and Star Rating: Upon acceptance of the application, BEE shall grant the product approval/registration and assign an energy-efficiency rating. The BEE S&L program rates the products on a 1-to-5-star scale; the higher the star rating, the higher the energy efficiency.

Validity, Renewal & Timeline of BEE Registration for EV Charger  

The validity period of Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) registration for an EV Charger, as per Schedule 41, is 3 years, provided the star rating remains unchanged during this period. To obtain BEE registration for an EV Charger, the complete procedure generally takes 30 to 45 working days.

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) initiates the renewal process through its BEE Portal before the registration period expires.

• Response Period: The manufacturer/importer should respond and submit an initial expression of interest within 3 months of receiving the notice.
• Application: Log in to the website portal and enter the required company information and the total production/import quantity.
• Document Uploading: Upload the application documents with updated information demonstrating compliance with current energy efficiency norms.
• Payment of Fee: Pay the relevant renewal fee online.
