Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This notification from the Ministry of Power amends the previous notification S.O. 181(E) from January 12, 2009, concerning energy efficiency standards for room air conditioners. It specifies compliance requirements and revises the star rating system based on the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). Key dates include applicability periods for different EER tables, ranging from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017, and a restriction on certain star level displays starting January 1, 2016. Key Points / Main Content: Compliance Requirements: * Room air conditioners (window and split types up to 10,465 watts) must meet requirements under IS 1391 (Part 1: 1992 and Part 2: 1992) concerning Maximum Operating Conditions. * Manufacturers must either carry BIS certification or be certified against IS/ISO 9000 or above. Star Rating System: * The star rating of air conditioners will be determined by the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). * Applicable EER tables (2.1 to 2.6) depend on the year of manufacture, commercial purchase, or sale. * Specific tables apply to unitary and split-type air conditioners for different periods: 2012-2013, 2014-2015, and 2016-2017. * The star level is based on minimum and maximum EER values specified in the tables. Restrictions: * Display of particulars on unitary air conditioners for 1-star EER 2.50-2.69 specified in table 2.5 and 1:1 high wall split air conditioners for star 1 EER 2.70-2.89 specified in Table 2.6 shall not be permitted with effect from January 1, 2016. Impact Analysis: Manufacturers of Air Conditioners: * Impact: Must ensure their products meet the updated compliance requirements and star rating criteria based on the manufacturing year. * Action Required: Adjust manufacturing processes and labeling to comply with EER tables and restrictions on star level displays from January 1, 2016. Sellers/Commercial Purchasers of Air Conditioners: * Impact: Need to be aware of the updated star rating system and ensure products being sold or purchased comply with the applicable EER tables based on the year of commercial transaction. * Action Required: Ensure products comply with the EER guidelines corresponding to the year of purchase/sale and adhere to display restrictions from January 1, 2016. Bureau of Energy Efficiency: * Impact: Responsible for ensuring compliance with the updated standards and for public awareness. * Action Required: Monitor and enforce the new regulations, update relevant documentation, and conduct outreach to inform stakeholders about the changes. Consumers: * Impact: Will have access to air conditioners that meet updated energy efficiency standards. * Action Required: To be aware of the new star rating system when purchasing air conditioners, ensuring they choose models that comply with the latest standards for energy efficiency.
