HERMETIC COMPRESSORS IS 10617:2018

BIS CERTIFICATION FOR HERMETIC COMPRESSORS IS 10617:2018

In today's competitive landscape, thriving in the market necessitates a certified product of standard quality. BIS licenses may also be necessary for selling products in the Indian market. To achieve BIS certification and manufacture a standard quality product, manufacturers must ensure that their product adheres to the specified Indian standard.

Let's delve deeper into IS 10617:2018 for hermetic compressors.

IS 10617:2018 encompasses hermetic compressors. This standard pertains to sealed refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors utilizing reciprocating, rotary, and scroll pump mechanisms, operating on the vapor compression cycle. These compressors are suitable for applications spanning low, medium, and high temperatures.

The hermetic compressor's capacity must be assessed under the specified test conditions outlined in the standard. It should feature a built-in protection system, which can either be a bimetallic thermal overload protection (OLP) system or an electronically-controlled protection system. These OLPs may be internal or external to the compressor.

The following factors will be taken into account for grouping Hermetic Compressors according to IS 10617:2018 for GoL/CSoL:

Category	(i) Low back pressure (LBP)
	(ii) Commercial back pressure (CBP) or Medium back pressure (MBP)
	(iii) High back pressure (HBP)
No. of phase	(i) Single phase
No. of phase	(ii) Three phase

Tests

The compressor tests will be categorized into two types:

1) Type Tests

Refrigeration Capacity Test
Startability Test
Locked Rotor Test
High Voltage Test
Insulation Resistance Test
Pneumatic Test of Shell
Bursting Test

2) Routine Tests

Manufacturers must adhere to specified painting (including color and type) and packaging specifications. Additionally, the compressor must bear permanent and legible markings, as outlined in the standard, on a nameplate. This nameplate should be placed in a visible and accessible location.

IS 10617:2018 outlines labeling and marking criteria. If the product meets these standards, it can be certified under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 and its regulations, and marked with the Standard Mark (ISI Mark). Manufacturers must secure a BIS license from the Bureau of Indian Standards to utilize the ISI Mark. This license is granted following an assessment of manufacturing infrastructure, quality control, testing capabilities, and production processes.
