Statement 2 is Correct: Electric geysers (specifically Storage Water Heaters) are part of the mandatory labeling program, which requires them to display star ratings based on their energy performance. Statement 3 is Correct: Tubular fluorescent lamps are also included in the mandatory labeling scheme to promote the use of energy-efficient lighting and reduce electricity consumption in households and offices.
