On September 17, 2024, India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry issued the new Indian Standard IS 302 (Part 1) : 2008, regarding the safety of household, commercial, and similar electrical appliances. According to the order, all electrical appliances with a rated voltage not exceeding 250V for single-phase alternating current or 415V for three-phase alternating current must adhere to specific safety standards. This regulation applies to appliances that do not fall under any other Quality Control Order under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, 2016. The order becomes effective on the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. Household, commercial, and similar electrical appliances usually require BIS certification in order to be approved for import and sale in India.
Under this regulation, products listed in the official table must meet the relevant Indian Standards and display the Standard Mark under a BIS license as outlined in Scheme-1 of Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Exceptions are made for goods intended for export, small and micro enterprises, and up to 200 items imported annually for research and development, provided these are not sold commercially. The Bureau of Indian Standards will act as the certifying and enforcing authority, and violations of this order will be subject to penalties under the BIS Act, 2016. electric barbecue machine
