FAQ — Room air conditioners & refrigerators
1. Is BEE enough to sell ACs?
No when BIS/QCO obligations also apply. Coordinate both.
2. Do inverter and fixed-speed share certificates?
Construction differences usually mean careful scoping — do not assume.
3. Import of second-hand appliances?
High regulatory risk; do not assume consumer schemes allow it.
4. Certko appliance desk?
We build combined BIS + BEE + export calendars.
