Explanation

The Bureau initiated the Standards & Labeling programme for equipment and appliances in 2006 to provide the consumer an informed choice about the energy saving and thereby the cost saving potential of the relevant marketed product. The scheme is invoked for 21 equipment/ appliances, i.e. Room Air Conditioners, Tubular Fluorescent Tube Lights, Frost Free Refrigerators, Distribution Transformers, Induction Motors, Direct Cool Refrigerator, electric storage type geyser, Ceiling fans, Color TVs, Agricultural pump sets, LPG stoves, Washing mach ine, Laptops, ballast, floor standing ACs, office automation products, Diesel Generating sets & Diesel pumpsets .Tikdam: There’s no way you can know the answer with confidence.Will have to make a guess here and it would be a risky guess but all are common use products consuming significant amount of energy.
