Direct cool refrigerators produce the cooling effect by a natural convection procedure from cooled surfaces in the insulated compartment that is being cooled. The water vapour that contacts the cooled surface freezes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, unlike frost-free units, direct cool units require manual defrosting of the interior. Direct Cool is less expensive in operation and in production as it consumes less energy when compared to Frost-Free Refrigerators. In India, BEE Registration for Direct Cool Refrigerators is a star rating system developed by the BEE or Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government of India, for energy-efficient refrigerators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEE Registration for Direct Cool Refrigerators comes under <strong><em>IS 1476 Part-1, Schedule \u2013 5. <\/em><\/strong>BEE also provides an incentive to manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient refrigerators.

The\nManufacturer, Trader, or Importer of the BEE-qualified products must undergo\nthis step. During filing an application online, the Applicant must upload\nimportant documents like an ISO 9001 Certificate, Trademark, Certificate of\nIncorporation, etc. After this, the Applicant must go to the BEE Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Testing of the Applied\nProduct(s)<\/strong>: After Company Registration, the next step is\nproduct testing. The testing of the applied product will be performed by the\nNABL Accredited Lab or ILAC MRA Lab. The certified laboratory will generate the\ntest report as per the BEE-prescribed format. It is important that the test\nofficials will choose the product sample from the facility for testing. The BIS\nOfficials may prompt the Applicant to facilitate the following documents before\nstarting the product testing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Samples along with user manual;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registered address proof of the\nproduction facility, like a copy of the Factory License stating the applied\nproduct &amp; Manufacturer&#8217;s scope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy of BIS License &amp; list of\nall models.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nthe Applicant gets the lab test reports, then they can proceed to Model\nRegistration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Model Registration<\/strong>:\nOnce the product testing is completed, the Applicant can apply for Model\nRegistration at the official website of BEE. The Model Registration requires\nmandatory documents in a prescribed format along with the test report (not\nolder than 3 months). Once all the details &amp; documents are uploaded online,\nalong with a sample label. Then the Applicant needs to pay the required fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the application is submitted, then all the original hardcopies along with the online application &amp; payment receipt, are to be submitted to the department. The department examines all the submitted documents and applications to provide the final License to the Applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-apply-for-bee-registration-for-microwave-oven\/\">How to Apply for BEE Registration for Microwave Oven?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Validity_of_BEE_Registration_for_Direct_Cool_Refrigerators\"><\/span>Validity of\nBEE Registration for Direct Cool Refrigerators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nvalidity of BEE Registration depends upon the labelling period which is released\nby the BEE.
