IS 302 PART 1 :2024

Navigating the Indian regulatory ecosystem requires a precision-led approach to safety. The IS 60335 series, primarily governed by IS 302, is the mandatory benchmark for electrical appliance safety. Adherence ensures your products withstand rigorous environmental and electrical stresses while maintaining market legality.

  • Regulatory Shield: Mitigates legal risks by aligning with the latest Quality Control Orders (QCO).
  • Operational Excellence: Ensures product durability through standardized thermal and mechanical stress tests.
  • Consumer Confidence: High visibility of the ISI Mark serves as a silent salesman.
  • Global Parity: Harmonized with IEC standards for seamless international trade.

Governing Framework

The primary legislative standard is IS 302 (Part 1): 2024, which is a direct adoption of IEC 60335-1: 2020. It is critical to note that Part 1 serves as the "General Requirements" and must always be paired with the relevant Part 2 (Particular Requirements) specific to the appliance's function.

Product Taxonomy & Applicability

The scope of this standard is vast, covering equipment with rated voltages up to 250V (single-phase). High-priority categories include:

  • Thermodynamic Appliances: Water heaters, immersion rods, and electric irons.
  • Kitchen Automation: Microwave ovens, mixers, grinders, and induction hobs.
  • Environmental Control: Air conditioners, ceiling fans, and room heaters.
  • Grooming Electronics: Hair dryers, shavers, and massagers.

Critical Evaluation Parameters

Our testing roadmap covers the full spectrum of the IS 302 safety protocols:

  • Dielectric Integrity: Testing insulation under high-voltage stress.
  • Abnormal Operation: Simulating fan failures or blocked rotors to prevent fire hazards.
  • Ingress Protection: Evaluating resilience against moisture and dust (IP ratings).
  • Constructional Audit: Verifying internal wiring, creepage distances, and clearance gaps.

Accredited Laboratory Network

Compliance is only valid if the Test Report is issued by a laboratory holding NABL Accreditation (ISO/IEC 17025) and formal BIS Recognition. We ensure your samples are processed through labs that maintain the highest calibration standards required for ISI marking.

Certification Milestone Roadmap

  • Phase 1: Technical Gap Analysis: 1 week.
  • Phase 2: Laboratory Testing: 3–4 weeks (depending on the Part 2 complexity).
  • Phase 3: BIS Audit & Grant: 4–6 weeks for inspection and final review.
  • Total Lifecycle: Typically 10 to 12 weeks for a fresh license grant.

Logistics for Product Sampling

  • Primary Samples: 2 to 3 complete units in final retail packaging.
  • Critical Components: Unmounted components like PCBAs, motors, and power cords may be required for independent "component-level" testing if they lack individual BIS certification.

Financial Investment Structure

The cost is categorized into three tiers:

  1. Professional Service Fee: For documentation and end-to-end liaison.
  2. Statutory BIS Fees: Application, audit, and annual minimum marking fees.
  3. Laboratory Charges: Variable based on the specific "Part 2" testing requirements. Contact our technical desk for a precise, itemized quote.

Mandatory Compliance Dossier

To initiate the filing, the following documentation must be digitally organized:

  • Technical File: Circuit diagrams, exploded views, and Critical Component List (CCL).
  • Business Proof: GST registration, MSME/Udyam certificate, and Brand Authorization.
  • User Documentation: Product manuals with mandatory safety warnings in English and Hindi.
  • Plant Layout: Details of manufacturing machinery and in-house testing equipment.
