Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Key Changes

  • The revised star rating bands are valid from July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025.
  • The notification replaces Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 in paragraph 3 of the original notification S.O. 481(E) with new tables specifying star rating bands for hard top and glass top chest freezers.
  • For Hard Top Chest Freezers, the star rating bands are now defined as follows:
  • 1 Star: 4.23*V + 126.65 < AEC ≤ 5.07*V + 151.98
  • 2 Star: 3.52*V + 105.54 < AEC ≤ 4.23*V + 126.65
  • 3 Star: 2.82*V + 84.43 < AEC ≤ 3.52*V + 105.54
  • 4 Star: 2.25*V + 67.55 < AEC ≤ 2.82*V + 84.43
  • 5 Star: AEC ≤ 2.25*V + 67.55
  • For Glass Top Chest Freezers, the star rating bands are now defined as follows:
  • 1 Star: 7.68*V + 511.17 < AEC ≤ 9.21*V + 613.40
  • 2 Star: 6.40*V + 425.97 < AEC ≤ 7.68*V + 511.17
  • 3 Star: 5.12*V + 340.78 < AEC ≤ 6.40*V + 425.97
  • 4 Star: 4.09*V + 272.62 < AEC ≤ 5.12*V + 340.78
  • 5 Star: AEC ≤ 4.09*V + 272.62
  • The values are expressed in kWh/year at 38°C, where 'V' represents the volume of the freezer.

What it means

  • The notification issued by the Ministry of Power amends the star rating bands for chest freezers as specified in notification S.O. 481(E) dated 2nd February, 2023.
  • The amendment revises the tables defining the annual energy consumption (AEC) limits for different star ratings of hard top and glass top chest freezers.
  • These revised star rating bands are valid from 1st July, 2023 to 31st December, 2025.

Impact Analysis

Manufacturers

  • Action Item: Update product designs and testing procedures to align with the new star rating criteria. Communicate changes to relevant departments (engineering, production, marketing).

Consumers

  • Action Item: Educate consumers about the revised star rating system and its benefits through marketing and informational materials.

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

  • Action Item: Update testing protocols and certification processes. Conduct awareness campaigns to inform manufacturers and consumers about the changes.

Government

  • Action Item: Monitor the effectiveness of the revised standards in achieving energy conservation goals. Provide support to BEE in enforcing the regulations.
