BIS Audit for Air Conditioner IS 1391 part 2 Heat Exchanger IS 11329 in Bangladesh Completed

We are glad to report that ERCS Pvt. Ltd. recently conducted a BIS audit of one of the well-known heat exchangers and air conditioner producers in Bangladesh. Certification under IS 11329 for heat exchangers and IS 1391 Part 2 for room air conditioners by BIS is a significant step towards obtaining regulatory approval for exports to India.

Spying over the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) by the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS) is today the norm for law-compliant market entry and long-term business success, as the government of India continues to lay greater emphasis on standardized and energy-saving imports.

Difference Between IS 1391 Part 2 and IS 11329

IS 1391 Part 2 particularly targets split-type room air conditioners and provides comprehensive specifications for cooling capacity, power consumption, material safety, and reliability in the Indian climate.

IS 11329, however, addresses heat exchangers, in particular those used in HVAC systems.  For long-term performance and safety, it prescribes specifications for mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, thermal efficiency, and other important parameters.

Compliance is a prerequisite for market entry because certification against these two standards ensures that products conform to India's technical requirements and consumer safety standards.

Why is BIS certification mandatory?

For most mechanical and electrical products that are being imported into the country, BIS certification is now a must in India.  The reasons for the same are:

• Regulatory Compliance: Products subject to mandatory certification are legally obliged to receive BIS certification.
• Use of ISI Mark: ISI mark, being a quality and reliability mark, can only be used for approved products.
• Market Eligibility: India-certified products can be sold in stores, traded, and supplied to industries as soon as they are certified.
• Customer Confidence: Certification is an assurance of dedication to the effectiveness, performance, and safety of a product.
• Clearance at Customs: BIS products clear Indian ports with greater ease and are not delayed or rejected.
• Participation in bidding: Only BIS-approved products are accepted by all Indian government and private tenders.

Procedure for BIS Certification of IS 1391 part 2 Heat Exchanger IS 11329 in Bangladesh

The Bangladeshi company ERCS Private Limited had implemented a well-structured and efficient certification process the for the Bangladeshi company. Let's see the same briefly:

1. Submission of Application: ERCS used to have an Appointed Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) who presented the application for the certificate to IS 1391 Part 2 and IS 11329.

2. Document Review: Clear records, e.g., BOMs, technical documents, test methods, quality manuals, and statements of compliance, were gathered and brought to BIS for testing.

3. Pre-Audit Appraisal: In a bid to remove pre-inspection non-conformities and synchronize factory configuration and documentation with BIS norms, ERCS performed a pre-audit appraisal.

4. Factory Inspection: BIS officers inspected the Bangladeshi factory to check its capacity for production, in-factory test facilities, labeling, as well as traceability practices.

5. Sample Collection & Testing: Air conditioner and heat exchanger product samples were collected during the audit and shipped to BIS-recognized testing laboratories for Indian standard testing.

6. Evaluation & Approval: After satisfactory testing and conformity check, licenses were issued by the BIS for affixing the ISI mark on all approved products.
