This schedule specifies the MEPS and labeling instructions for chillers working on vapour compression cycle, manufactured in India or imported for sale in India for central cooling and similar use. The schedule covers all types and sizes/capacity for rated voltage up to and including 250 V, 50 Hz AC, for single phase and up to and including 415V, 50Hz AC for three phase power supply covered under the scope of IS 16590. For this schedule, the star rating shall be based on Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) and full load COP as the prequalification criteria.

It excludes generating sets used on aircraft or to propel land vehicles and Locomotives. Diesel Generating (DG) Sets up to 19 kW ratings are covered under pilot energy labeling scheme for single/three phase DG Sets.

Note: Inclusion of Solid State Inverters run from Storage Batteries of 24 Volts Direct Current source is under consideration.

This schedule also include built in ballasts where the ballast is inbuilt in the luminaire. The ballasts which are integral to the lamps are excluded from the scope of this schedule.

In the absence of BIS standard for laptops and notebooks this standard follows the version 6.11 - Energy Star program requirements Product specification for computers.
