NABL ACCREDITED
National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is a Constituent Board of Quality Council of India. NABL has been established with the objective to provide Government, Industry Associations and Industry in general with a scheme for third-party assessment of the quality and technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories and it provides voluntary accreditation services to testing laboratories in accordance with ISO/ IEC 17025 ‘General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration LaboratoriesBIS RECOGNIZED
To protect consumer’s interest, BIS operates various conformity assessment schemes. Under these schemes, BIS grants licenses/registrations to such manufacturers who are capable of producing goods conforming to relevant Indian Standards, on continuous basis. To support these schemes, which requires testing of products on regular basis for checking conformity to the relevant Indian Standards
What is Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)?

BEE ACCREDITED
What is BEE Star Rating?
BEE sets the standards and labels for marking star-rating of various appliances. Star ratings are provided to all the major kinds of appliances in the form of labels. These star ratings are given out of 5 where higher the rating, lower is the energy consumption. The label provides a basic sense of how energy efficient each product is, just at a single glance.
How is BEE star rating decided?
The BEE star rating of a product is decided on factors more than one. Usually, there is a preconceived myth that a star rating is generally based upon the appliance’s power consumption. However, this is not true. BEE sets all the standards and norms which need to be followed while rating an appliance and the manufacturer labels the product accordingly.
The BEE Star rating Program is updated every year. As technology improves and more and more energy-efficient appliances are introduced in the market, the labels are adjusted accordingly. For eg: The Ministry of Power announced that two more electrical appliances microwave ovens and washing machines will now be assigned star ratings based on their energy efficiency metrics. The program of star rating of Microwave Ovens and Washing Machines will be implemented voluntarily and will be valid up to December 31, 2020.
The Star rating is mandatory for only the following heavy appliances: Frost-free refrigerator, Tubular Fluorescent Lamps, Room Air-Conditioners, Distribution Transformer, Colour TV, CST AC, Direct Cool Refrigerator and Electric Geyser. For other appliances getting the star label is optional. The appliances with the lowest energy consumption in a product category are given the most stars and those with the highest energy consumption are given the least.
