As consumers and businesses increasingly seek eco-friendly solutions, the demand for electrical appliances is rising, boosting both imports and exports. In India, BIS certification is mandatory for marketing these appliances, ensuring they meet quality standards through the ISI mark. Importers must comply with BIS customs clearances and adhere to Quality Control Orders (QCO) for full regulatory compliance.

The Indian Standard IS 302: Part 1:2024 specifies safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances, covering single-phase devices up to 250 V and others up to 415 V. This standard includes essential safety tests such as earthing, leakage current, and moisture resistance to prevent electric shocks and ensure user safety. It applies to appliances used in shops, light industries, and farms but excludes industrial, medical, and electronically sensitive equipment.

Obtaining BIS certification under IS 302: Part 1:2024 guarantees product safety and compliance, helping manufacturers and importers meet regulatory demands while building consumer trust in the Indian market.
