BIS Certification for Commercial Electric Dishwashing Machines IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1
Category: BIS Certification
All manufacturers of Commercial Electric Dishwashing Machines must have BIS Certification since these fall under the Safety of Household, Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances Quality Control Order (QCO). It applies to both Indian and foreign manufacturers who export such regulated products to India and adhere to IS 302 Part 1, as per IEC 60335-1. Importers need to confirm that the foreign manufacturer holds a BIS license for importing the product into India.
Commercial Electric Dishwashing Machines are appliances that clean and sanitise quickly, thereby making the process easier. Due to the high electrical load and water requirements, commercial dishwashers are subject to the safety standards of IS 302: Part 1:2024, which applies to household and similar appliances up to 250V single-phase and 415V otherwise.
What are the BIS Testing Parameters for Commercial Electric Dishwashing Machines Under IS 302 (Part 1):2024?
The applicable testing parameters required for Dishwashing machines per IS 302 Part 1 are aligned with IEC 60335-1.
Heating and Temperature Rise: Since the dishwasher heats the water and uses a hot drying cycle, this test ensures that temperatures on external surfaces, handles, and control panels do not exceed safety limits, thereby preventing burn injuries to the operator.
- Leakage Current and Electric Strength: It ensures that the machine maintains sufficient insulation and dielectric strength at operating temperature and under constant humidity and steam conditions during the wash cycle, preventing electric shock.
- Earth Continuity Test: Commercial dishwashing machines are usually Class I (earthing-type) equipment. This test confirms that all exposed metal parts are properly earthed.
- Moisture and Water Resistance: Since these appliances are always in contact with water, steam, and detergent solutions, the tests confirm that no water ingress, splashing, or condensation can reach the live parts and cause short circuits.
- Protection Against Overflow and Leaks: The equipment is tested to confirm that overfill, hose-connection leaks, or door leaks do not pose a risk of fire or flooding in the vicinity.
- Strength and Stability of Construction: The construction, including the cabinet, door, racks, and mounting, should be strong enough to resist deformation or toppling under commercial use.
- Heat Resistance: Glow Wire Testing is conducted to confirm that plastics and insulation materials do not catch fire in the event of an internal malfunction.
