BIS CERTIFICATION FOR LIVE WORKING GLOVES OF INSULATING MATERIAL IS 13774:2021

In the realm of electrical work, safety remains paramount and non-negotiable. Acknowledging this imperative, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has introduced a novel standard, IS 13774:2021, tailored for Live Working Gloves made of Insulating Material. The objective of this standard is to uphold rigorous safety measures for individuals engaged in electrical tasks, safeguarding their well-being.

Per BIS regulations, acquiring BIS certification for Live Working Gloves of Insulating Material under the ISI mark IS 13774:2021 is obligatory. This certification signifies that these gloves adhere to rigorous safety standards, ensuring their suitability for live working environments. Without the ISI Mark, live working gloves of insulating material cannot be exported, imported, or marketed in the Indian consumer market.

IS 13774:2021 encompasses an extensive array of tests aimed at evaluating the safety and quality of live working gloves. These tests span dimensions, thickness, workmanship, marking, durability of marking, tensile strength, elongation at break, resistance to puncture, stress set, dielectric type test, dielectric routine test, aging test, and more. Each test is meticulously crafted to assess the gloves' performance across diverse conditions and verify that they afford sufficient protection to the wearer.

The standard further covers unique attributes including leakage current resistance, abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear resistance, low temperature resistance, flame retardancy, acid resistance, oil resistance, ozone resistance, and extremely low temperature resistance. These characteristics are essential to guarantee that live working gloves are capable of enduring the demands encountered in various work settings.
