Commercial Electric Griddles and Griddle Grills
IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1
BIS Quality Control Order (QCO) requires that commercial electric griddles and griddle grills comply with IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 / IEC 60335-1 as part of mandatory certification. Manufacturers and importers must obtain the BIS Certification Scheme-I for these products and have the ISI mark applied to them to legally sell, distribute, and/or import them into India. This standard includes rigorous electrical and thermal safety testing for electric griddles to protect against electric shock and fire hazards in the commercial kitchen.
The IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1 applies to commercial electric appliances and also covers household appliances that are similar to commercial electric appliances, including Electric Griddles and Electric Griddle Grills that have received BIS certification. Restaurants and other food service establishments can cook a wide range of foods using both electric griddles and electric griddle grills, thereby continuing to play an important role in food preparation.
BIS Certification for Commercial Electric Griddles and Griddle Grills
Commercial electric griddles and griddle grills are essential countertop appliances designed for high-volume food service operations, including diners, food trucks, and busy restaurant kitchens. They offer precise temperature control, even heat distribution, and rapid recovery times to maximise kitchen efficiency.
Under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's Quality Control Order (QCO), these appliances must conform to the safety standards outlined in IS 302 (Part 1): 2024 / IEC 60335-1:2020 and bear the official ISI Mark. Non-compliance or the sale of non-certified equipment can result in severe legal penalties, including product seizure and hefty fines.
