UPS manufacturers and dealer
association- BIS standards and star rating for the UPS work shop
Day by day we see the human life
dependency of the electricity is increasing. Buildings are increasingly
responsible for hosting number of energy consuming electronics and electrical
equipment's and general electronic products such as Refrigerators,
washing machines and Air conditioning units, people with middle income groups
are also buying high-end equipments. Also the formal and informal market of
inefficient electrical products, influences the unprecedented energy
consumption at household level. Therefore, Ministry of Power has established
the Bureau of Energy Efficiency to monitor, register and verify the Energy Star
Labeled equipment's which are more energy efficient and saves money for the
consumers.
The
consumers’ are in dilemma to know-how and select the best category of appliance
according to their needs and requirement. There was a need for standards
and labeling program because of wide variation in energy consumption of
products, information on energy consumption being often not easily available or
easy to understand from the nameplate and leading to continued manufacture and
purchase of inefficient equipment's and appliances.
The
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has established comparative star labeling
system for indoor appliances like tubular fluorescent lamps, refrigerators
(frost free and direct cool), and air conditioners. Other appliances include
distribution transformer, induction motors, pump sets, ceiling fans, LPG,
electric geysers and colour TV. But we all of us used to speak about
bringing standards in the Inverter and UPS which equally used now days and become
basic need in any house , commercial and industries. In fact from UMDA we
had separate committee formed to build a specification and recommended to
Bureau of India standards and also published in our publications to follow by
all our members.
Today
we all should welcome the BEE, which is extended the star rating mandatory to
Inverter and UPS. This will help the industry to bring a standard in the
product
More
the number of stars more are the energy efficiency of the appliance. There are
six significant benefits from this program which include providing information
on energy use to consumers, enabling consumers to reduce energy bills, reducing
capital investment in energy supply infrastructure, strengthening competitive
markets, mitigating climate change goals and reducing urban/regional pollution.
Ladies
and gentle this is a time to know and create awareness ourselves. The UL
being a certifying agency also took initiative to educate us. We take this
opportunity to welcome them for supporting us to conduct this workshop today.
We
well come all the UL team, also well come all the managing committee and last
but not the least all the members you all. Hearty welcome to you all
Thank
you
