The total cost for Equipment Type Approval (ETA) and WPC Registration is Rs.55,000. 

A BEE Standard is a benchmark for electrical items to test their usage of energy and to limit their usage of energy by defining test protocols for their testing.

A Label describes the energy efficiency of a system (in the form of energy use, efficiency or energy cost). ‘’Labels’’ primarily provide customers with the knowledge they need to make an educated purchase. Labels are divided into two categories:
1.    Comparative label- Allows customers to compare the energy consumption of comparable goods and consider lifetime operating costs when making a purchase.
2.    Endorsement Label- Provides a ‘certification' to potential buyers to let them know that the product is extremely energy efficient for its category

An Energy Saving Certificate is a certificate issued to those Designated Consumers (DCs) who have overachieved their energy saving targets in any PAT (Perform Achieve and Trade) Cycle. These certificates are then bought by those DCs which have under achieved their energy saving targets.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has been appointed as the Market Regulator and Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) as the Administrator for trading of ESCerts on the power exchanges. The Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO) has been engaged as the Registry for permitting Designated Consumers as eligible entities for trading of ESCerts and the book-keeping of the ESCerts issued by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. The trading of Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts) is to be performed on Tuesdays on two power exchanges named IEX and PXIL.
