BIS CERTIFICATION FOR ELECTRIC KETTLES AND JUGS IS 367: 1993

In today's competitive landscape, maintaining market presence without a certified, high-quality product can be challenging. Obtaining a BIS license may also be essential for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and ensure product quality, manufacturers must adhere to the specified Indian standards.

Let's delve deeper into at IS 367:1993 for Electric kettles and jugs for household and similar use.

Electric kettles and jugs for household and similar uses are regulated by IS 367:1993. This standard outlines the general, safety, and performance requirements for electric kettles, jugs, and similar appliances designed for household use, with a rated capacity of up to 51 liters and connections for voltages not exceeding 250 volts (AC, single-phase, or DC). It excludes dry or steam pressure sterilizers, coffee percolators, portable immersion heaters, and storage water heaters. To comply, kettles and jugs must meet the specifications outlined in IS 367:1993.

Electric kettles and jugs must be designed to prevent any electrical or mechanical failures that could affect compliance with the standard during normal use. To meet this standard, ferrous parts prone to rust must be properly protected. Appliances will undergo various tests to ensure they adhere to Indian standards. Specifically, kettles and jugs must comply with clauses 8 to 32 of IS 302-2-15 (1993). Additionally, the testing laboratory must be well-maintained to conduct all required tests following the standard's methods.
