Category: BIS Certification
BIS Certification for Food Waste Disposers is mandatory in India; this certification is specified under IS 302 Part 1. Manufacturers must comply with the safety and quality standards for food waste disposers set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This product is widely found in residential and commercial locations, such as restaurants, hotels, and other commercial kitchens. All Food Waste Disposer products must meet the criteria under the Safety of Household, Commercial, and Similar Electrical Applications Quality Control Order (QCO), 2026.
The IS 302 Part 1 is aligned with the internationally recognised IEC 60335-1, which lays down general safety requirements for household and similar electrical appliances. It helps protect users against electric shock, mechanical damage, moisture, and abnormal operation. Products that meet these criteria at BIS testing facilities can obtain the BIS Standard Mark (ISI Mark), thereby ensuring consumer safety. The BIS Certification is important for manufacturers to comply with Indian standards under the BIS Act 2016, as non-compliance can lead to product seizures and bans from the Indian market.
