Labelling Programme

The energy efficiency of appliances and the efficient use of appliances are two major contributory factors for energy efficiency.

Typically, the Appliance Energy Labelling Programme uses one or more of the following complementary tools to improve the energy efficiency performance of appliances and equipment under the clauses 35 (d) and (e) of the Act:

• Energy labels enable consumers to make an informed choice at the point of purchase, either by showing the comparative performance of all appliances (rating labels) or by identifying the best-in-class products (endorsement labels).
• Minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) provide a level playing field in competitive markets by discouraging the worst performing products without diminishing consumer choice.
• Specify minimum energy performance levels, prohibit import / locally manufactured appliances which do not reach the specified minimum performance levels and to display the energy label on all such items.

Energy performance standards are available for Compact Fluorescent Lamps, Fluorescent lamp ballasts, LED lamps, Electric motors, refrigerators, room air conditioners and computers. In addition to these, publication of standards is in progress for LED modules (panel lights) electric water pumps, rice cookers, televisions and pedestal fans.

Regulations have been gazetted  on mandatory energy labelling for CFLs,Ceiling fans and LED lamps. For computers and refrigerators, voluntary labelling programmes are in operation.
