NOTIFICATION

New Delhi, the 12th May, 2022

S.O. 2210(E).—In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (a) of section 14 of the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 (52 of 2001), the Central Government in consultation with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, hereby specifies the following energy consumption standards for electric ceiling type fans, namely:-

1. Every electric ceiling type fans operated by induction motors and Brushless Electric Motors of all the standard sweep sizes covered under the scope of IS 374 that work on single phase alternating current supply up to and including 250V, 50Hz, being manufactured, commercially purchased, imported or sold in India shall- (a). meet the safety requirements specified in clause 9of Indian Standard 374 and amendments referring to clauses 8 to 32 of the Indian Standard 302 (Part 2/Sec 80); (b). meet all the performance requirements as specified in Indian Standard 374; (c). either carry Bureau of India Standards certification mark or the manufacturer is certified as per IS/ISO 9000 or above.

2. (1) Definitions: In this notification, unless the context otherwise requires,-

(a) ―air delivery‖ is the quantity of air delivered in a given time under specified conditions. It is expressed in cubic meters per minute;

(b) ―ceiling type fan‖ means a propeller-bladed fan, having two or more blades, driven by an electric motor and provided with a device for suspension from the ceiling of a room so that blades rotate in a horizontal plane;

(c) ―rated air delivery‖ is the air delivery of the fan assigned by the manufacturer;

(d) ―rated power input‖ is the power input assigned to the fan by the manufacturer and marked on it and it is expressed in Watts;

(e) ―service value‖ means the air delivery in cubic meters per minute divided by the electrical power input to the fan in watts at the voltage and frequency specified for the test.

(2) Words and expressions used herein and not defined, but defined in the Indian Standard 302 (Part 2/Sec 80) and Indian Standard 374 shall have meaning respectively assigned to them in those Standards.

3. Star rating or star level plan.- (1) The label to be affixed on each electric ceiling type fan shall display a maximum of five stars with an interval of one star, and the fan shall be rated for its performance from star one to star five based on its service value.

(2) Every electric ceiling type fan shall refer to energy consumption standards which meet the performance requirements as laid down in clause (a) of paragraph 1.

(3) The star level of the electric ceiling type fan shall be determined as specified in the following Tables, namely:-

(a) For ceiling fans of sweep size less than 1200 mm, the star level shall be determined using Table 3.1:

Table 3.1 (Valid from the 1 st July, 2022 to 31 st December, 2024) Star Levels Rated Service Value (Cubic meter per minute/Watt) 1 Star* ≥ 3.1 to < 3.6 2 Star** ≥ 3.6 to < 4.1 3 Star*** ≥ 4.1 to < 4.6 4 Star**** ≥ 4.6 to < 5.1

(b) For ceiling fans of sweep size greater than or equal to 1200 mm, the star level shall be determined using Table 3.2:

Table 3.2 (Valid from the 1 st July, 2022 to 31 st December, 2024) Star Levels Rated Service Value (Cubic meter per minute/Watt) 1 Star* ≥ 4.0 to < 4.5 2 Star** ≥ 4.5 to < 5.0 3 Star*** ≥ 5.0 to < 5.5 4 Star**** ≥ 5.5 to < 6.0

(4) The star level plan shall be reviewed before the expiry of the period specified under Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 and thereafter, the star level plan shall be reviewed every two years.

4. Testing and tolerance.- (1) For the purpose of determining the star level, the ceiling type fans shall be tested as per the standards given in Table 4.1 shall be used, namely:- Table 4.1 S. No. Test parameters Test Standards 1 Safety Requirements

Clause 8 to 32 Indian Standard 302 (Part 2/Sec 2 Starting characteristics (clause 11) IS 374:2019 with all amendments 3 Interchangeability (clause 12) 4 Measurement of speed (clause 14.4) 5 Measurement of power factor and power input (clause 14.5) 6 Performance Requirements – Air Delivery (clause 15)

(2) The number of samples shall be two as per clause 18 of IS374:2019, if any.

(3) There shall be no negative tolerance for the star rating levels.

(4) The scope for manufacturing tolerance and other variations shall be accounted by the manufacturer while determining the star rating keeping in view the following points for rounding off,-

(a) the values of power consumption (Watts), air delivery (cu m/min), service value (cu m/min/W) shall be rounded off to nearest whole number upto one decimal places;

(b) all the values shall be rounded off to respective significant figures, as per Indian Standard 2:1960.

(5) The tolerance limits for power factor and fan speed shall be as per clauses 15.2 of IS 374 : 2019 and the tolerance on power input shall be as per clause 10.1 of IS 302-2-80.

5. Test report. –The results of the sample tested shall be reported on the prescribed format given in Annexure A.
