What standard were set in the rating chart?
The new labeling scheme includes a star rating of 1 to 5 stars based on the thermal efficiency of the LPG stove. The following standards are set in the rating chart – the efficiency of a stove with 1 star should be ≥68% and <70%; Efficiency of 2 star stove: ≥70% and <72%; 3 star efficiency: ≥72% and <74%; Efficiency of 4 Star: ≥74% and <76% and 5 star stove efficiency: ≥76%.

The labeling period will be valid from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028, after which it will be reviewed every two years or before if required.
According to a report, it is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of LPG stove to register through BEE online standards and labeling portals. Only those stoves that run only on LPG (not on any other gas type) and who have valid BIS certification will be eligible for labeling.
