In November 2019, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), an energy service company set up under India’s Ministry of Power, published a series of inspection manuals to guide bulk procurements for five product categories: electric motors, LED street light fixtures, room air conditioners, smart meters, and submersible water pumps.

The inspection manuals target a critical link in market transformation, ensuring that government purchases support demand for high-quality, energy-efficient products in compliance with bulk procurement requirements. CLASP’s P.K. Mukherjee was the lead author of the inspection manuals, which were developed for use by EESL field officers across India.

The inspection manuals are intended to ensure compliance with EESL bid specifications, protecting the interests of both the buyer and the end consumer and supporting the credibility of EESL’s bulk purchase program. The manuals include:

  • Guidelines and step-by-step procedures for bid evaluation, pre-delivery, and post-delivery verification and inspection
  • A sampling methodology for type, acceptance and routine tests
  • Guidance on the levels of control required of manufacturers at the component level and for the finished product
  • Sample test reports to support uniform reporting
