Understanding BIS Certification for All-Glass Evacuated Tubes Solar Water Heating Systems

INTRODUCTION

In the field of renewable energy, the all-glass evacuated tubes solar water heating system represents a leading innovation in efficiency and sustainability. These systems utilize solar energy to offer eco-friendly hot water solutions, making them vital for advancing greener living. Ensuring their quality, safety, and performance is essential, which is where BIS certification comes in. This article explores the details of BIS certification for solar water heating systems, including the Indian Standard IS 16542 that regulates them, and highlights how Absolute Veritas assists manufacturers in navigating the certification process.

INDIAN STANDARD IS 16544

Indian Standard IS 16544 defines the specifications and requirements for all-glass evacuated tubes solar water heating systems. This standard ensures that these systems are reliable, efficient, and safe for consumer use.

Key aspects of IS 16544

• Materials and Construction: Guidelines for the materials used and the construction methods to guarantee durability and performance.

• Performance Requirements: Standards for thermal performance, including heat retention and efficiency across different climatic conditions.

• Testing Methods: Established procedures for testing to evaluate the performance, reliability, and safety of the solar water heating systems.

These specifications help maintain high quality and safety standards for solar water heating systems.

DRAFT QUALITY CONTROL ORDER

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, has proposed a draft order mandating that all-glass evacuated tubes solar water heating systems, whether produced domestically or imported, must carry the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Standard Mark under a valid BIS license. This requirement ensures that all such systems meet quality and safety standards.

BIS CERTIFICATION FOR IS 16544

The BIS certification mark signifies adherence to Indian standards and regulations. For all-glass evacuated tubes solar water heating systems covered by the Indian Standard IS 16544, this mark confirms that the product has undergone thorough testing and evaluation to meet quality and safety requirements. Displaying the BIS mark builds consumer trust, assuring that the system meets high-quality standards and is fit for its intended use. Additionally, it enhances market access both domestically and internationally by demonstrating compliance with recognized standards.
