The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has recently issued a critical notification concerning Washing Machines. These key updates are essential for attention:
Starting from January 1st, 2024, BEE certification becomes mandatory for the manufacturing, import, sale, or trade of Washing Machines in India.
A new energy performance rating table for Washing Machines will be in effect from January 1st, 2024, until December 31st, 2026.
For models certified under the previous table that are valid until December 31st, 2023, a Model Degradation process must be initiated through the designated portal to adjust their star ratings.
The portal link for applying for Model Degradation is currently active and will remain accessible until December 31st, 2023. Post this date, all registered models will automatically expire on the portal and cannot be legally sold in the market.
