Induction hobs have become among the most innovative and energy-efficient cooking appliances. Unlike conventional gas or electric stoves, induction hobs use electromagnetic technology to heat the pot directly, ensuring quick cooking without wasting energy. Induction hobs are commonly found in residential, apartment, hotel, restaurant, and commercial kitchens where safety and efficiency are paramount.

Key Highlights of IS 19014 for Induction Hobs

Indian Standard IS 19014 specifies the performance requirements and testing methods for household electric hobs, including countertop induction cooktops. Let’s go through the complete specification and understand the criteria under IS 19104 for BEE Star Labelling of Induction Hobs: 

Testing Requirements for BEE Registration for Induction Hob IS 19014:2022

Samples should be tested in an NABL-accredited laboratory that is also authorised by BEE for Bureau of Energy Efficiency certification of induction hobs in accordance with IS 19014. This includes electrical, mechanical, and energy-efficiency tests to rate the sample ceiling fan using service-value stars.

• Thermal Efficiency Test (IS 19014:2022 – Part 2): Determines the percentage of electrical energy used and energy absorbed by water in the standardised test pan. It is the exact percentage that determines the rating of Stars allocated.
• Standby Power Consumption (IEC 62301:2011): Measures the electrical power consumed by the induction cooktop when plugged in but switched off or inactive. The standby power consumption values must conform to the existing BEE schedule levels.
• Safety Requirement Testing (IS 302-2-6): Ensures basic domestic safety requirements in order to protect consumers from functional or accidental failure risks.
• Earth Continuity: Ensures low-resistance paths for earth continuity safety.
• Electrical Strength / Dielectric Strength: Sets high voltage values that do not cause breakdown of the insulation.
• Leakage Current Test: Determines leakage current at maximum operating temperatures to prevent electric shock.
• Protection Against Electric Shock: Studies the enclosure's structure to confirm that live electrical components are not accessible to consumers.
