BIS Certification for
Floor Treatment Machines and Wet Scrubbing Machines IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1
IS 302 Part 1: 2024/IEC 60335-1
The BIS Certification under IS 302 (Part 1): 2024/IEC 60335-1 is mandatory for the import or sale of Floor treatment and wet scrubbing machines in India. Manufacturers must secure an ISI Mark from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure compliance with electrical and mechanical safety standards. Floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines are widely used in commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, industrial facilities, and residential spaces to maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
Electrically operated appliances are exposed to moisture, mechanical stress, and continuous operation, making compliance with safety standards essential. To ensure safety and reliability, the BIS requires the applicable product to comply with IS 302 (Part 1): 2024/IEC 60335-1, which specifies general safety requirements and similar electrical appliances.
Testing Parameters for Floor Treatment Machines and Wet Scrubbing Machines
Floor treatment machines and wet scrubbing machines must meet IS 302 (Part 1); otherwise, they may not be tested. Hence, mandatory testing is conducted to ensure there is no risk of electric shock, fire, or mechanical failure during normal and abnormal operation.
- Earth Continuity Test: To confirm that the pathway for protective earthing has sufficiently low resistance, therefore providing adequate protection against electric shock.
- Electric Strength Test: To verify that the insulation of the appliance can safely withstand the specified high voltage without electrical breakdown.
- Functional Test: To guarantee that the machine functions properly and will perform all of its intended functions under normal operating conditions.
- Protection Against Electric Shock: To ensure that a user has been adequately protected from inadvertently coming into contact with hazardous live parts of an electrical system.
- Provision for Earthing: To ensure that a reliable basic earthing arrangement is provided for the safe dissipation of fault currents.
- Leakage Current and Electric Strength at Operating Temperature: To measure the amount of leakage current and the performance of the insulation while the appliance is operating at the normal temperature.
- Leakage Current and Electric Strength: To evaluate the collected leakage current and electrical insulation after the appliance has undergone environmental conditioning.
