The BEE was instituted to ensure that electrical appliances and products in the Indian market meet optimum standards of energy efficiency and are economical from the perspective of the usage of energy. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency put in place the star labelling scheme with a view to monitor and regulate electrical products and their usage of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme has a system in place under which products are provided ratings based on their energy usage and how efficaciously such energy is used in a manner to reduce expenses. Based on certain criteria, the products are given stars based on their energy efficiency. Products are rated on a scale of one to five stars, where one star is provided to the least energy efficient products and five stars are provided to the most energy efficient products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ratings can be used as a deciding factor while looking to buy a cost-efficient electrical product or appliance. Under this scheme, certain products are required to obtain mandatory registration, while other products are only required to voluntarily obtain registration under BEE.

The BEE registration for\ncomputers includes registration for both notebooks and laptops but does not include\ncomputers mounted on desktops or similar storage and server devices. Since the\nBEE registration for computers is voluntary, manufacturers of computers can\nmanufacture, sell, distribute, export, or import their products without\nobtaining any such registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting one\u2019s product registered under BEE, manufacturers of computers are required to adhere to certain requirements. For manufacturers who are foreigners, they are required to appoint an official of their company working and residing in India or a business entity in India as its AIR or Authorized Indian Representative. Both Indian and foreign manufacturers of computers are also required to choose an authorized signatory who would handle the formalities associated with BEE registration for computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bee-norms-regarding-refrigerators-and-ceiling-fans-wef-1st-jan-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BEE Issues New Norms Regarding Refrigerators and Ceiling Fans wef 1st January 2023<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_Involved_in_Obtaining_BEE_Registration_for_Computers\"><\/span>Steps Involved in Obtaining BEE Registration for\nComputers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To obtain a\nBEE registration for computers, the applicant needs to follow certain\nprocesses, which involve registering online, filling out applications and\ndocuments and sending copies of such documents and applications offline to the\noffice of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

The star labelling scheme is often used as a factor while selecting a cost-efficient electrical product or appliance from the many products available in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEE only requires manufacturers or other intermediaries dealing with computers to register their products if they feel the need for it. There is no embargo on manufacturers or importers or other such intermediaries on placing such computers in the markets of India if they do not obtain a BEE registration. However, it is prudent to obtain such registration anyway, as this can be employed as a brilliant marketing strategy to make one\u2019s product stand out amongst the flood of products in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturers of computers should look to adhere to the standards set out by BEE and strive to obtain optimum star ratings. As a manufacturer of computers looking to market her products in the Indian market, it is advisable to obtain BEE registration to make customers prefer one\u2019s product over others. This, in turn, helps build up the brand value and goodwill of the company and raise confidence and loyalty in computers manufactured by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read Our Article<\/b>: <mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bee-registration-process-in-india\/\">BEE Registration Process in India: Explained<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BEE or the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, was set up under the Energy Conservation Act, 2002 by the Ministry of Power.
