BEE Registration for
Pedestal Fan
IS 1169
Pedestal Fan falls under the Standards & Labelling (S&L) program of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). According to the latest information from BEE, the Pedestal Fan falls under the voluntary labelling stage. For testing purposes under BEE regulations and to measure performance, the Pedestal Fan is tested in accordance with IS 1169:1967, IS 302-1:2008, and applicable amendments to meet electrical safety requirements. Key tests for BEE labs include air delivery, temperature rise, power factor, leakage current, fan speed, and insulation resistance.
The Pedestal Fan is a portable fan mounted on an adjustable pedestal stand to ensure effective air circulation in indoor spaces, including domestic and commercial settings. Pedestal fans differ from ceiling fans in that they can be moved around easily, making them ideal for situations requiring flexible air circulation.

Pedestal Fan Testing Requirements and NABL Lab under IS 1169
Tests required for the pedestal fan are of two important types: Safety Compliance Tests (to avoid electrical shocks, fire, and accidents) and Performance Tests (to check correct airflow and energy efficiency):
- Input Power: The electrical power consumed by the pedestal fan during operation.
- Fan Speed: The speed at which the fan operates under the specified test conditions.
- Air Delivery: The volume of air delivered by the fan, typically measured in cubic metres per minute.
- Performance Value: Air delivery performance relative to the fan's electrical power input, used to measure the fan's energy efficiency.
- Power Factor: Measurement of the power factor in operation.
- Performance Testing: The measurement results are assessed against the required BEE requirements to determine the energy-efficiency rating.
- Safety and Performance Testing: Compliance with the safety and performance requirements of the Indian Standards is also required.
Documents Required for BEE Registration of Pedestal Fan

Step-by-Step BEE Certification Process for Pedestal Fan
The process for BEE certification in India for a pedestal fan is done in a step-by-step manner and includes Company Registration, NABL Laboratory Testing for Online Model Submission and final Star Label Approval:
- Verify Applicability of the Product: The manufacturer/applicant shall confirm that the product is applicable under the BEE Schedule.
- List relevant standards: Test and energy performance evaluations shall be conducted in accordance with IS 1169.
- Product Testing: The model shall be tested to determine its parameters, including the pedestal fan.
- 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: BEE application shall be made 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 Pedestal Fans
The validity of BEE Registration for pedestal fans depends on the standard and star-rating system set by BEE, rather than a fixed 3-year period. If BEE amends the standards and the star rating system, the manufacturer is expected to follow the amended standards and star rating system. Where renewal is required, it is advisable to apply at least one month before the registration expires. In case of expiry, an application may be necessary.
Renewal of BEE Registration
- When to apply: Apply well ahead of expiry, per BEE's renewal notice
- Product Testing: Fresh product testing is required whenever product specifications or BEE standards change.
- Re-Registration Application: Complete the re-registration application form and submit it with the test report.
- Fees for Re-Registration: Re-registration fees and other fees.
- Approval of Registration: Re-approval of registration by BEE.
