(i) Television (TV): A commercially available electronic product designed primarily for the
display/direct view and reception of audio visual signals from terrestrial, cable, satellite,
Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), or other transmission of analog and/or digital signals, consisting
of a tuner/receiver and a display encased in a single housing. The product usually relies upon a
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp (CCFL) backlight, and Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlight and Plasma Display.
(ii) TV Combination Unit: A system in which the TV and an additional device(s) (e.g., DVD player,
HDD, VCR, etc.) are combined into a single unit; the additional device(s) is inbuilt into the
television casing and it is not possible to measure the power requirements of the two (or more)
components separately without removal of the television casing; The complete system is
connected to the wall outlet with a single power cable.
(iii)
Analog TV: The television sets having the provisions of National Television Standards
Committee (NTSC), Phase Alternating Line (PAL), or Sequential Color with Memory
(SECAM) tuner and may have analog video inputs (e.g., composite video, component video, Svideo, RGB).
(iv)Digital TV: Digital televisions include at least one digital tuner or at least one digital video
input (e.g., HDMI). Products with an analog tuner and both analog and digital inputs should be

BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
AEC = (6 x Pa + 12 x Ps) x 0.365 kWh/Year
Where:
Pa: On Mode power consumption in Watts
Ps: Standby Mode power consumption in Watts
NOTE: This annual energy consumption is estimated based on a daily usage pattern of
6 hours in ‘On’ Mode and 12 hours in ‘Standby’ Mode.
Note: For remaining 6 hours, device is considered as ‘Switched Off’.
6. Energy Labeling Plan
To qualify for BEE Star labeled product, all TVs and TV Combination Units shall not exceed
maximum Annual Energy Consumption (AEC max) derivedfrom the equations in Table 4.1, 4.2 and
4.3 based on the unit’s native vertical resolution and visible screen area. The maximum annual energy
consumption is expressed in kilo watt hours per year (kWh/year). The value reported shall be are
rounded off to the nearest whole number as per IS 2:1960 reaffirmed 2000, Edition 2.3.
The effective date of implementation of Annual Energy Consumption threshold and the applicable
tables are given in Table 4.0:

The Star Rating Equations are derived by the following equation:
E = (X x A) + Y
Where:
 E (in kWh/year) = Annual Energy consumption
 A (in square inches) = the effective/viewable screen area calculated by multiplying the
display/screen width by the display/screen height
 X (in kWh/year) = ON Mode power consumption in (W/sq.inch) x hours of operation in ‘On
Mode’ x 365/1000
 Y (in kWh/year) = Standby Mode power consumption in W x hours of operation in ‘Standby
Mode’ x 365/1000
BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
This annual energy consumption estimate is based on a daily usage pattern of 6 hours in ‘On’ Mode
and 12 hours in ‘Standby’ Mode.
As given in Tables 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, ‘A’is the effective/viewable screen area (square inches or square
centimeters), derived by multiplying the display/screen width by the display/screen height.
Typical example of maximum annual Energy consumption for TVs of preferred screen sizes is
provided for illustration. The maximum annual energy consumption values will remain unchanged
whether the screen area is measured in square inches or square centimeters.
This schedule applies to all the screen sizes of televisions and not limited to the preferred screen
size mentioned in the examples.

ATTENTION:
This product is qualified for the BEE Star rating in the ‘Home’ Mode.
The Objectives of Star Labeling Program is designed to promote
energy efficient products and practices.
When the television is initially set up, it is designed to meet the BEE
Star Labeling requirements while maintaining optimum picture
quality.
 Changes to certain functionalities of this television (TV
Guide, Picture/sound etc) may change the power
consumption.
 Depending upon such changed setting (eg., Retail mode),
the power consumption may vary which possibly could
exceed the stated energy consumption.
To reset the television to Star rating qualified settings, select ‘Home’
mode from the initial set-up procedure in ‘factory settings’ under the
‘Set-up’ menu.
Note:
1. IS 616:2010 specifies safety requirements for all sizes of TV. Therefore to qualify for BEE label, all
sizes of TV are to be tested and shall have to meet the safety requirements as mentioned in IS
616:2010.
