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 to use regularly 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 the BIS Testing Parameters for Air-Cleaning Appliances Under IS 302 (Part 1):2024?

Specific testing parameters include:

• Protection from Electrical Shock: Guaranteeing that all parts are adequately guarded and that the wiring within the appliance is properly insulated.
• Test for Heating and Abnormal Conditions: The appliance and transformer are tested for safety against overheating and potential fires when operated.
• Leakage Current and Electrical Strength: This test ensures proper insulation and grounding to prevent electrical leakage when operated.
• Resistance to Heat and Fire: This involves testing plastic and other non-metallic materials using glow-wire and ball-pressure tests.
• Moisture Resistance: Tests how well the appliance performs in moist conditions.
• Resistance to Mechanical Impact: Tests the machine's durability.
