No. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) star-rating is mandatory only for appliances notified under the Standards & Labelling (S&L) Programme under Section 14 of the Energy Conservation Act 2001. As of 2026, mandatory S&L covers about 25 appliance categories including ACs, refrigerators, ceiling fans, water heaters, tube-lights, TVs, washing machines, computers, and LED lamps. For non-notified appliances, BEE labelling is voluntary.
NABL accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for testing and calibration laboratories typically takes 6-9 months from application: (1) Application submission + fee (1 month); (2) Document review by NABL (1-2 months); (3) Pre-assessment (optional, 1 month); (4) Final assessment - 2-3 NABL assessors on-site for 2-3 days (1-2 months); (5) Corrective action closure (1-2 months); (6) Accreditation committee decision + certificate (1 month).

CE Marking is the European Union's conformity-assessment mark, required for products placed on the EU market under the New Legislative Framework - issued under 12+ sectoral directives (LVD, EMC, RED, Machinery, etc.) with self-declaration (Module A) or Notified Body assessment (Modules B-H). BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is India's national standards body under the BIS Act 2016 - ISI mark certification for products notified under a Quality Control Order (QCO) is mandatory in India.

The Schedule M revised notification dated 6 January 2024 (in force from 1 January 2025 for large manufacturers; 12-month transition to MSMEs and 36-month transition to micro-manufacturers) aligned Indian GMP with WHO-GMP and EU-GMP - adding requirements for pharmaceutical quality system (PQS), contamination control, computerised system validation, and change control.
No. The Fruit Products Order 1955 (under the Essential Commodities Act 1955) was consolidated into the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 with effect from 5 August 2011. FPO Mark is no longer a separate licence - fruit and vegetable product manufacturers now require FSSAI Basic Registration, State Licence, or Central Licence under the FSS (Licensing & Registration) Regulations 2011. The FPO Mark is retained as a voluntary quality mark under the FSSAI regime; the standards are preserved in FSS Regulation 2.3.
