BIS Certification for
Air-Cleaning Appliances
IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1
BIS Certification of Air-Cleaning Appliances under the Bureau of Indian Standards ensures that electric air purifiers and similar appliances conform to the safety requirements of IS 302 (Part 1):2024, aligned with IEC 60335-1, before entering the Indian market. The appliances should have been checked for electrical safety and be safe for regular use in homes, offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, and similar commercial premises.
The air-cleaning appliances will improve indoor air quality by removing dust, smoke, pollen, allergens, bacteria, and other harmful particles. They usually work with filters, fans, and air-purification technology. As the appliances require electricity and run almost the whole day, they need to be built with all safety measures in place. A low-quality product may have faults such as overheating, electrical leakage, insulation failure, or fan failure.
What are Air-Cleaning Appliances under IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1?
Under IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 / IEC 60335-1: 2020, "Air-Cleaning Appliances" refers to electrical air purifiers and similar indoor air-cleaning devices. These appliances are officially regulated under India's mandatory quality control framework to guarantee electrical, thermal, and mechanical safety before they can be manufactured, imported, or sold in the Indian market. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has aligned this standard with the global IEC 60335-1:2020 framework to ensure a high level of user safety during prolonged daily operation.
