The statutory body which regulates energy efficiency of tubular fluorescent lamps is the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) through a stipulation that manufacturers or importers must register their TFLs to a prescribed standard of efficiency. It requires an application form along with technical data sheets and test reports of the product from the NABL certified laboratories. TFLs are tested that involve some specific parameters such as luminous efficacy and power consumption. Once these tests reveal conformity to BEE standards, the product automatically gains registration to use BEE Energy Efficiency Label. These labels assist consumers in opting for correct energy-efficient lighting products available in the market. This registration process needs renewal to meet the new standards of registration and certificates after one year.
BEE Sample Certificate
Tubular fluorescent lamp is an electric lamp, which utilizes the fluorescence process to emitted visible light. It has a glass containing mercury vapor with this pressure in an inert and nearly incompressible gas like argon or krypton. The interior surface of the housing is coated with the phosphor material. If an electric current gets through it, it ionizes mercury vapor within the lamp and produces ultraviolet light. This UV light is in a position to activate the phosphor coating which in turn emits visible light. The type, quality, and thickness of the phosphor coating deposit define light color temperature and quality. Other types of Lamps include Tuber fluorescent lamps which are known to be more efficient in their use of electricity as they offer greater lumen per watt and have a longer life cycle. They are designed in various forms and may come in different dimensions appropriate for homes, offices, and other institution buildings.
The registration of Tubular Fluorescent Lamp under BEE has certain advantages to both the producer as well as the consumer. Here are some of the key advantages:
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings: The BEE certification ensures that TFLs meet a given rate of energy efficiency and therefore are likely to consume less electricity. Customers are also on the receiving end when it comes to energy costs, which makes BEE certified lamps relatively cheap.
Environmental Impact: Low-energy TFLs contribute to reduction of GreenHouse Gas and thus are preferred because of the lesser impact on the environment. These lamps help in fighting global warming and the use of sustainable energy since they consume less power.
Market Competitiveness: Companies that have BEE certification can easily compete in the market's push and pull forces. It brings confidence and reliability which in a way may lead to better preferences and therefore increase sales volume.
Consumer Awareness: It also assists consumers in properly choosing energy efficient gadgets and products by using the BEE mark. It also raises awareness of certified products, which puts pressure on manufacturers to enhance their energy-efficient offerings
Brand Reputation: BEE certification increases brand value of the manufacturer as it demonstrates its willingness to adhere to the best practices of environmental protection and energy efficiency.
To register an Tubular Fluorescent Lamp with variable speed for BEE, there are several steps to be followed:
There are some documents and pieces of information that are normally needed. Here is a list of common documents needed for BEE registration:
Company Registration Process
Sample Label Application Process
The structure of fees that is charged during BEE Registration is divided into several parts. These include Company Registration Large scale is ₹1,00,000 while that of Small scale is ₹ 25000, Model registration fee is ₹2,000 per model while the Label fee differs in accordance to the particular appliance.
| Subject | Fees |
|---|---|
| Company registration(Large scale) | ₹1,00,000 |
| Company registration(Small scale) | ₹25,000 |
| Model registration(Per model) | ₹2,000 |
| Label fees(Per label) | Changes depending upon the appliance |
Note: The aforementioned Fees is exclusive of GST.
Validity and Renewal for BEE Registration of Tubular Fluorescent Lamps
The BEE Registration can be renewed after the first 3 years period from the date of issuing. A little paperwork and money will be needed in order to streamline the renewal procedure.
The implementation of energy efficient standards for Tubular Fluorescent Lamps (TFLs) in India through the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), necessitates manufacturers or importers to register such lamps in compliance with such set energy efficiency standards. When the results of the test show compliance, a number of requirements, the product is registered and allowed the BEE energy efficiency logo on the product.
Advantages of going for BEE certification include energy efficiency, the costs, and overall environmental standards followed, competitiveness in the market, consumer awareness, and company image. The process involves understanding requirements for registering the lamps, getting necessary test reports, compiling the documents required for registration, paying the fees for registration of the lamps, submission of the application and making sure that the lamps are labeled according to BEE standards.

To ensure that TFLs supplied into the market are compliant subject to the energy efficiency standards, the BEE Registration is mandatory. This enhances environmental conservation, low consumer tariffs on electrical power, and overall conservation of energy.
As for any manufacturer or importer or dealer of Tubular Fluorescent Lamps (TFL) who wishes to sell their products legally in India, they have to register with BEE
While it may take longer, getting a BEE registration normally takes 4 to 6 weeks from the time the application form is filed presuming all test results and supporting documents are correct.
This includes the application fees, the testing fees at BEE-approved laboratories and other consulting fees in as much as one might need professional help. The exact amount may vary depending on the specific needs of that particular user and on the service providers they might employ.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
