BEE registration helps track and improve the energy efficiency of room air conditioners and to assess the progress made by manufacturers in this regard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/bee-certification\">BEE Registration<\/a><\/strong> for room air conditioners is based on the standard IS 1391 Part 1, Part 2 (Schedule 3). The aforementioned standard is applicable to unitary and single-phase split air conditioners with vapour compression and a cooling capacity of 11 Kilowatts. Cooling systems which do not employ vapour compression like evaporative coolers and cooling systems with multiple indoor units, with each such unit having independent command, are not covered under the BEE scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is mandatory to obtain BEE registration for room air conditioners, manufacturers of such products must follow certain steps to obtain the requisite registration. However, before obtaining a BEE registration, the manufacturer of Indian origin needs to appoint an authorized signatory to carry out the BEE registration formalities. A foreign manufacturer must appoint an AIR or Authorized Indian Representative and a signatory. Such a foreign manufacturer can appoint an Indian business entity or a company official operating in India as its Authorized Indian Representative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bee-registration-for-ceiling-fan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Complete Guide on BEE Registration for Ceiling Fan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEE Registration for room air Conditioners is a mix of\nonline registrations, filing of documents and submitting original hard copies\nof the application and documents to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
