Appliances for Skin Exposure to Optical Radiation IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1

BIS certification for appliances that expose human skin to optical radiation, as per IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1, is mandatory for manufacturers and importers before selling these products in the Indian market. These appliances have gained popularity in recent times in India’s wellness and healthcare industry. Given their potential hazards, such as radiation and electrical risks, they are heavily regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards to ensure the product meets safety standards.

In today’s quality-conscious market, regulatory compliance is crucial for building consumer trust and maintaining uninterrupted market access. Because these appliances come into direct contact with human skin, improper use or substandard design can cause burns, skin pigmentation, or even eye damage if safety measures are not followed.

Obtaining BIS certification is important to ensure that your product meets the prescribed Indian Standards for safety, quality, and performance. IS 302 (Part 1):2024 IEC 60335-1 General requirements that set out the safety and performance standards for household, commercial and similar electrical appliances that expose the skin to optical radiation (UV/IR).
