BEE Registration for
Table/Wall Fan
IS 555
BEE Registration for Table/Wall Fans is an evaluation procedure conducted by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) Standards & Labelling Programme to assess the energy efficiency and performance of selected fans. Table/Wall Fans are listed in Schedule 32 of BEE and are currently voluntary, meaning registration is not required under the BEE Standards & Labelling Programme.
For testing and assessment purposes, Table/Wall Fans are tested in accordance with IS 555:1979 (with relevant amendments). Some of the parameters tested include air delivery, temperature rise, power factor, leakage current, fan speed, and insulation resistance.
Basically, BEE registration is required for the manufacturer/importer to demonstrate the performance and energy-efficiency characteristics of their Table/Wall Fans and to provide useful information to consumers. As the item is voluntary, companies may join the BEE programme in accordance with the requirements.
