BIS Certification for
Commercial Electric Hoods
IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1
BIS Certification for Commercial Electric Hoods is required under the Safety of Household Commercial and Similar Electrical Appliances Quality Control Order, which requires manufacturers and importers to obtain mandatory certification for the above-mentioned appliances under the IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1 standard, which lays down general safety requirements. It covers vital safety aspects such as protection against electric shock, insulation performance, earthing arrangement, temperature rise, leakage current, and electrical safety in general.
Commercial Electric Hoods are very important appliances used in restaurants, hotels, commercial kitchens, canteens, and food processing units to remove smoke, grease, heat, and cooking vapours to create a safe work environment. As these appliances run continuously and have electrical parts, it becomes imperative to maintain high safety standards to avoid hazards such as electric shocks, overheating, fire hazards, and malfunctioning. The importance of BIS Certification for Commercial Electric Hoods lies in the fact that the certificate not only ensures legal compliance for the manufacturer but also enhances product credibility and helps grow the business in the competitive market of commercial kitchen equipment.
BIS Testing Parameters for Commercial Electric Hoods Under IS 302 (Part 1):2024?
The Indian standard IS 302 Part 1 covers safety measures such as leakage current, electric strength, earthing arrangements, and protection against electric shock and fire hazard as mandated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), including:
- Earth Continuity Test: It ensures that the exposed metal parts of the hood are properly earthed, thereby preventing any electric shock.
- Electric Strength (Dielectric) Test: The insulation capacity of the device is checked under high voltage to ensure there is no breakdown.
- Leakage Current Test: This test measures the flow of extra current to the frame and keeps the current within permissible limits.
- Protection Against Electric Shock: Adequate housing should protect against any contact with live parts of the equipment.
- Moisture Proof: Prevents moisture, steam, and grease caused during commercial cooking from causing short-circuiting and electric shocks.
- Overload/Abnormal Conditions Tests: Includes testing the motors, exhaust fan, and heating elements when working under stalled and abnormal conditions.
- Fire Hazard Testing: Tests the flammability and resistance of plastic and non-metallic parts of the hood.
- Mechanical Strength/Construction: This tests the structural robustness and rust-resistance of the canopy and grease filters of the hood.
