What is BIS Certification for Home Appliances?
The Government of India has mandated BIS Scheme-I (ISI Mark) certification for a vast array of household electrical appliances under the Electrical Appliances (Quality Control) Orders. The core objective is safeguarding consumers against electrical shocks, fire hazards, excessive heat dissipation, and mechanical hazards.
Compliance is evaluated against the IS 302 (Part 1) General Safety Requirements alongside product-specific Part-2 safety standards. All manufacturers (domestic and foreign) must install dedicated in-house electrical testing benches (high voltage breakdown, insulation resistance, earth continuity, leakage current, power input verification) to earn and retain the CM/L license.
IS 302 Part-1 & Part-2 Testing
Testing dielectric strength, creepage distance, thermal endurance, abnormal operation, and IP ingress protection.
Domestic & FMCS Licenses
Seamless license grant for domestic assembly plants as well as international OEM exporters through the FMCS desk.
