BIS CERTIFICATION FOR ELECTRICAL SHAVERS, HAIR CLIPPERS, AND SIMILAR APPLIANCES

Electrical grooming appliances, such as shavers and hair clippers, have revolutionized personal care by offering precision and convenience. Featuring intricate mechanisms like motors, rechargeable batteries, and precision blades, these appliances must meet rigorous safety standards to prevent risks such as electrical shocks, overheating, or mechanical failures. To address these concerns, the Indian government introduced the "Safety of Household, Commercial, and Similar Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Order, 2024" (QCO 2024), mandating compliance with IS 302 Part 1 for all grooming appliances. This regulation ensures uniform safety and quality standards for domestically manufactured and imported products.

Understanding the QCO 2024 for Grooming Appliances

The QCO 2024 enforces mandatory BIS certification to ensure grooming appliances meet stringent safety standards. Key highlights include:

• Mandatory Certification: Appliances must comply with IS 302 Part 1 and carry the BIS Standard Mark.

• Scope: Applies to devices with rated voltage up to 250V (single-phase AC) or 415V (three-phase AC).

• Objective: Minimize risks from electrical, thermal, and mechanical hazards.

This regulation enhances consumer safety, promotes product reliability, and boosts trust in certified products.
